New piece from Kaja Kowalczewska!

We are pleased to announce the publication of a compelling research article, authored by Dr. Kamil Mamak and Dr. Kaja Kowalczewska, titled “Military Robots Should Not Look Like Humans”

Delving into the intricate ethical landscape surrounding military technology, this article contributes a thought-provoking perspective to the discourse. The authors tackle the pivotal question of whether military robots should adopt human-like appearances. The article delves into the multifaceted implications of endowing military robots with humanoid features. The authors assert that such design choices warrant closer scrutiny, due to the ethical quandaries they introduce and the potential incompatibility with established international humanitarian laws. In a field often dominated by discussions of functionality and efficacy, this publication reorients our attention toward the aesthetics of military technology.

By advocating for a more intentional approach to robot design, the authors prompt a deeper exploration of the broader implications for the ethical landscape of warfare.
