The Applied Ethics of Emerging Military and Security Technologies: The Library of Essays on the Ethics of Emerging Technologies

Autor Braden R. Allenby
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2015
The essays in this volume illustrate the difficult real world ethical questions and issues arising from accelerating technological change in the military and security domains, and place those challenges in the context of rapidly shifting geopolitical and strategic frameworks. Specific technologies such as autonomous robotic systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, cybersecurity and cyberconflict, and biotechnology are highlighted, but the essays are chosen so that the broader implications of fundamental systemic change are identified and addressed. Additionally, an important consideration with many of these technologies is that even if they are initially designed and intended for military or security applications, they inevitably spread to civil society, where their application may raise very different ethical questions around such core values as privacy, security from criminal behaviour, and state police power. Accordingly, this volume is of interest to students of military or security domains, as well as to those interested in technology and society, and the philosophy of technology.

Descriere

The complex ethical issues which arise from accelerating technological change in the military and security domains are the focus of this collection. The essays take account of the context of rapidly shifting geopolitical and strategic frameworks as well as the spread of many technologies from military and security arenas to civil society, with consequences for core values such as privacy, security, criminal behaviour and state police power. Specific technologies and issues are highlighted, ranging from autonomous robotic systems and unmanned aerial vehicles to cybersecurity, cyberconflict and biotechnology.
