Drone warriors – Autonomous weapon systems and the wars of the future | DW Documentary
As the war on Ukraine rages on, drone technology is advancing rapidly — and fundamentally changing the battlefield. What happens when machines gain power over life and death?
How close are we to the ultimate “killer drone”—an autonomous weapon that can select and destroy a target without human intervention? Does it matter whether death is caused by human hands or by a machine? Can we limit this technology to the front lines, or will it seep into everyday life? The film explores how tech drones are changing war.

It’s all are not bigger than what happened in gaza
That Robert In Den Bosch from the Netherlands at the end is either totally naive or just refuses to see the forest for the trees. The United Nations has NEVER been able to implement ANY meaningful restrictions on ANY form of weapon EVER. Think Nuclear, landmines, etc,. They are a paper tiger with NO authority or control whatsoever. Pathetic
Autonomous is a funny word.
crimes committed by the Autonomous …. the liable party will be the one who touched the "on" button. … or the programmer. … the A.I. trainer / seller…. what about Autonomous cars in the civilian world? will your Autonomous lawyer be able to help you?
as you fermi paradox yourselves
I’m waiting for fully autonomous drone warfare when factories will produce, launch and decide the targets with AI as priority and prevent escalation by analysis of the best strike points – no more collateral damage
Какой ужас.. как поколение воспитанное живыми участниками ВОВ затеяло новую кровавую бойню
Go and ask those A.I… "How do you think about this humanity and their 6000 years history of War?.." go and ask any A.I… see what a Machine can say about human.
"Wars of the future" is wrong. There will be no wars in the future. Either that or there will be no future.
Big mac!!!
Israel uses drones to kill Palestinians in Gaza in the middle of a "ceasefire"
The media is used by the jesuits that have been behind every major conflict for the past 500 years to promote the idea of war. There is no need for human to go to war!!! War is all about big money for the bankers and military industrial complex.
