Breaking the Frame Part 1: Technology out of control? Drones, Killer Robots and the Arms Trade
Remote controlled drones have already caused many civilian casualties in the ‘war on terror’, and people in the target zones and in Britain are campaigning against their use. But the military is moving towards letting battlefield ‘killer robots’ take their own decisions without human input. Should we allow computers to decide who lives and who dies, and who is legally responsible for their actions? This first meeting in our ‘Breaking the Frame’ series on the politics of technology will address some of the ethical and ‘existential’ issues raised by the march of technocracy. There will be plenty of time for informal discussion.
When: 7pm July 8th 2013 Where: Fairly Square cafe, 51 Red Lion St London WC1R 4PF
Introductions from:
- Anne-Marie O’Reilly – Campaign Against the Arms Trade
- Chris Cole – Drones Campaign Network
- Richard Moyes – Article 36 & Campaign to Stop Killer Robots
