Autonomy: weapons and vehicles

Our lesson this week continues the theme of artificial intelligence, this time looking at the issue of autonomy in detail. Autonomy is a term of deep ethical significance in philosophy; it is also a marketing term for a variety of consumer and military technologies. This lesson will discuss the ethical dimensions of autonomy in two specific cases: autonomous weapons systems and autonomous vehicles. Your assignment for this lesson is to review the material from lecture and write a normal length post on the ethics of autonomy and AI.
