All Things Policy India and the Age of Autonomous War
In this episode of All Things Policy, Shobhankita Reddy is in conversation with Adya Madhavan on her paper, "Revisiting Arms Control Paradigms in the Age of LAWS."
They tackle the global debate over 'killer robots,' exploring the ethical and accountability dilemmas that arise when machines make lethal decisions. Adya breaks down why countries are so divided on governance; many advocate for a legally binding treaty, while major AI powers like the US and China resist strict limitations, all while pursuing the technology. The discussion focuses on India's strategic considerations, especially with China’s advancements in military AI. Adya proposes a way forward for India to champion human accountability in combat without restricting crucial domestic research and development.
