| Author | Galliott, Jai ; Wyatt, Austin |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The prospect of increasingly autonomous systems has seized the military imagination and rapidly generated an international debate surrounding the merits of a
potential preemptive ban under international law. What has been missing to this
point has been an in-depth consideration of how artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and unmanned platforms would be perceived by the junior officers
who will play a core role in their integration into future militaries. Drawing on a
broad survey of officer cadets and midshipmen at the Australian Defence Force
Academy conducted in 2019, this article provides an analysis of how perceived
risks and benefits of autonomous weapon systems are influencing the willingness
of these future defense leaders to deploy alongside them. |
