By offloading lethal decisions to nonhuman agents, the military seeks to increase the speed and efficiency of target identification and ranking. These autonomous systems are already being deployed in active conflicts. In the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine has developed a self-reliant drone infrastructure, replacing many soldiers with drones that can make independent decisions. Similarly, Israel has utilized AI programs like Lavender to identify and rank thousands of human targets in Gaza. While these technologies offer significant advantages in speed, they also raise questions regarding human responsibility and the potential for AI to
