Summary This book explores a number of legal issued raised by the introduction of emerging technologies--such as autonomous weapons, artificial intelligence, and cyber capabilities--on the modern battlefield. Is the law as it exists today capable of regulating these new weapons? How might the law be changed to address these new and emerging capabilities? This book will shape the debate on how the law of armed conflict should be changed, or could be adapted, to address the challenges posed by the use of emerging technologies in modern warfare
