Video podcast SDRC «Autonomous Weapon Systems and Human Control»

The Swiss Drone and Robotics Centre SDRC of armasuisse Science and Technology (S+T) has created a video podcast on the topic «Autonomous Weapon Systems and Human Control», together with the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) of the University of Zurich. In nine episodes, the question of what approaches to ensuring human control in autonomous weapons systems might look like is explored from different perspectives. Raúl Gander from the SDRC leads through the individual episodes, in which experts from the fields of defence, international law, international humanitarian law (IHL), criminal law, arms control and ethics contribute their knowledge. This video podcast series was produced in collaboration with PD Dr. Markus Christen (DSI) and the Multimedia & E-Learning Services (MELS) of the University of Zurich.
