https://doi.org/10.17803/2542-2472.2021.19.3.061-065
Abstract
The paper examines the current state of artificial intelligence technology as applied to autonomous combat systems. The main legal issue in this discourse is the establishment of the cause and responsibility for harm caused by such a system, the integration of such situations into the system of military law.
