Swords and Shields: Autonomy, AI, and the Offense-Defense Balance - Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. Introduction Military machines can increasingly move, search for targets, and even kill without human control.

Autonomy fundamentally means reducing human involvement in command and control, which theoretically means that virtually every military platform and weapon can be made autonomous. Whether this autonomy is sensible or ethical is another question. WWW Virtual Library: International Affairs Resources. Naval Postgraduate School.
