The Future of War and Peace: An Essay on Causal Analysis via AI and Autonomous Weapons Systems

Khan, Haider (2023): The Future of War and Peace: An Essay on Causal Analysis via AI and Autonomous Weapons Systems.

Abstract

I analyze the roots of Global Crises in the cyber age and the nature and consequences of current multiple crises on our planet from global warming to militarization including autonomous weapons systems. Our global crises reflect deep socio-economic and political contradictions leading towards a semi-permanent malaise in all our societies. We must raise the question: how can we find such a path in the midst of these old and new-fangled local and global crises? Aside from being both global and local, our analysis also has a particular geopolitical and historical focus. Given the multiple crises from global warming to global arms race, the stakes for our planet’s future have never been so high.
