Army of None
By Paul Scharre
Archival Summary & Scope
Highly praised by Bill Gates and winner of the 2019 William E. Colby Award, *Army of None* plunges into the urgent reality of autonomous weapons. Author Paul Scharre, a leading expert in next-generation warfare and former soldier, details high-tech systems like Israel’s Harpy drone and the American Sea Hunter—now deployed by dozens of nations—and examines the profound legal and ethical dilemmas of giving machines life-and-death decision-making power. Engaging military history, global policy, and cutting-edge science, Scharre argues for embracing technology where it can make war more precise, yet insists that when the choice is life or death, the human heart remains irreplaceable.Categorization Notes
