Most Americans familiar with General John J. “Black Jack” Pershing know him as the commander of American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during the latter days of World War I. But Pershing was in his late fifties by then. Pershing’s military career began in 1886, with his graduation from West Point and his first assignments in the American West as a horsebound cavalry officer during the final days of Apache resistance in the Southwest, where Arizona and New Mexico still represented a frontier of blue-clad soldiers, Native Americans, cowboys, rustlers, and miners.

Lethal autonomous weapons are weapon systems that can select and destroy targets without intervention by a human operator. Fighting Machines explores the relationship between lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS), the concept of human dignity, and international law. Much of this analysis speaks to three fundamental and related problems: When a LAWS takes a human life, is that killing a violation of human dignity? Can states and non-state actors use LAWS in accordance with international law? And are there certain responsibilities of human decision-making during wartime that we should not delegate to machines? Today, in the twenty-first century, this trend continues and at a faster pace. The U.S. Department of Defense treats the virtual and anonymous environment of cyberspace as a new domain of warfare, subject to offensive and defensive military operations. By congressional mandate, today at least one-third of essential U.S. military aircraft and ground vehicles deployed should be unmanned and “military robots”—controlled by computer software code that we call “artificial intelligence”—may outnumber manned weapons systems by 2030. The F-35, the latest-generation jet fighter plane, “almost certainly will be the last manned strike fighter aircraft the U.S. Department of the Navy will ever buy or fly.” The increasing computerization and impersonalization of the modern battlespace relegates many soldiers and commanders to mere adjuncts to the software.
