A former Army Ranger, Paul Scharre, the author of\u00a0Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0has pondered\u00a0the implications of\u00a0robots and their role in a third world war. But what\u00a0Scharre is really concerned about it robots and artificial intelligence that can act and make decisions without any human input at all.<\/p>\n

It all seemed so far away a decade ago, but AI and what that means for the future of humanity is now looming. In Scharre\u2019s new book about what robots and artificial intelligence and what it will mean for the future of warfare, all outcomes seem horrible.\u00a0 Scharre has expressed his concerns that fighting machines that can act without any human input and behave in ways that are difficult to understand,\u00a0reported\u00a0Reason<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>

Soldiers on the battlefield \u201chave to choose between various shades of wrong,\u201d says Scharre, who is also a defense analyst at the\u00a0Center for a New American Security<\/a>. \u201cWhat does it say about us as humans\u2026if we offload the moral responsibility of those decisions to machines<\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Reason<\/em>\u2018s Zach Weissmueller sat down<\/a>\u00a0with Scharre to discuss the current state of autonomous weaponry, the implications for the future of warfare, and the likelihood that these tools will end up in the hands of \u201cnonstate actors.\u201d<\/p>\n
