Autonomous Weapons and Battlefield Dignity - Interview with Mois Navon (Recorded in September 2023) #13

In this podcast, AI&F Advisor Rabbi Mois Navon draws on his 35-year career as a pioneering AI computer design engineer to discuss whether battlefield decisions by lethal autonomous weapons that seek to apply ostensible “moral algorithms” are consistent with principles of human dignity. Rabbi Mois draws on his essay Autonomous Weapons Systems and Battlefield Dignity - A Jewish Perspective in the July 2023 book Alexa, How Do You Feel about Religion?" Technology, Digitization and Artificial Intelligence in the Focus of AI, co-edited by our AI&F Advisor Anna Puzo. Our host Pablo Ruz Salmones also explores with Rabbi Mois his front row seat on AI research in Israel since the 1990s, and the AI ethics conversation there.
