"In a thought-provoking book that could be subtitled Asimov's Three Laws Meet Boyd's OODA Loop, author Kenneth Payne provides a well-researched examination of the current state and future possibilities for incorporation of artificial intelligence designs into "warbot" weapon systems." -- Scott Gourley, ARMY magazine "An engaging and accessible guide to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) as applied to war." -- Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs "In this remarkably lucid and accessible book, Payne effortlessly cuts through both the techno-hype and pious incantations surrounding the robotic revolution in military affairs. I, Warbot may not soothe the anxieties of its readers regarding the future but it will immeasurably enhance their understanding of it." -- Antoine Bousquet, Reader in International Relations, Birkbeck, and author of The Scientific Way of Warfare "In I-Warbot Kenneth Payne offers creative and insightful new perspectives on the ongoing debate around the use of AI-enabled weapons systems in future war-fighting. He makes a compelling case why a ban on "killer robots" may prove to be counter-productive, and instead offers three simple but nonetheless effective rules for their use that are bound to trigger intensive discussion among the military, defence officials and policy-makers."-- Franz-Stefan Gady, Research Fellow for Cyber, Space and Future Conflict, IISS "A brilliant and gripping treatise on war in the age of intelligent machines. Payne's rewrite of Asimov's Three Laws of Robots to enable them to kill is quite terrifying."-- Professor Theo Farrell Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Wollongong, Australia "A thought-provoking reflection on how AI will change conflict." -- The Economist "Chillingly demonstrates how the military use of Artificial Intelligence weapons is becoming ever more dangerous. [...] A detailed, accessible and surprisingly entertaining book." -- Morning Star "I, Warbot is an important reminder that military AI is not purely a technological feat, but also a ground for reckonings on the ethics of warfare and creative strategy. In advocating thoughtful regulation of autonomous systems, Payne offers his counterpoint to the Asimovesque robot overlords of science fiction: "War will remain something that is done by, and to, humans." --International Affairs, "An engaging and accessible guide to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) as applied to war." -- Lawrence D.

Synopsis
Artificial Intelligence is going to war. Intelligent weapon systems are here today, and many more are on the way tomorrow. Already, they're reshaping conflict--from the chaos of battle, with pilotless drones, robot tanks and unmanned submersibles, to the headquarters far from the action, where generals and politicians use technology to weigh up what to do. AI changes how we fight, and even how likely it is that we will. In battle, warbots will be faster, more agile and more deadly than today's crewed weapons. New tactics and concepts will emerge, with spoofing and swarming to fool and overwhelm enemies. Strategies are changing too. When will an intelligent machine escalate, and how can it be deterred? Can robots predict the future? And what happens to the 'art of war' as machines themselves become creative? Autonomous warfare makes many people uneasy. An international campaign against 'killer robots' hopes to ban AI from conflict. But the genie is out--AI weapons are too useful for states to outlaw. Still, crafting sensible rules for warbots is possible. This fascinating book shows how it might be done., Artificial Intelligence is going to war.

- _***s (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWhen I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.
- r***w (229)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- e***r (331)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough I received the incorrect book with my order (that had a title close to what I had ordered), AlibrisBooks apologized, said they could not re-send the book, and refunded my money and told me to keep the book that I had received, and either donate it or give it away, so I gave it to someone. That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.
