- Double-weighted statement
- This seven-year sustained research spans political theory, the philosophy of technology, military ethics and international law. Involving an extensive in-depth survey and analysis of primary source material–philosophical texts, legal documents, governmental/technical reports – and archival work (Hannah Arendt archives, Library of Congress and archives at the New School, New York) and secondary source analysis. The breadth of the work is wide-ranging: covering issues of various contemporary developments including drones, lethal autonomous weapons systems, military human enhancement, and initial stages of military AI. Rather than focusing on technological capabilities alone, the analysis uncovers a deeper transformation in our relationship with violence/technology.
