Armas autônomas de guerra: responsabilidade internacional pelo uso de armas dotadas de inteligência artificial

Abstract

This work aims, from the perspective of international humanitarian law concerning wars and armed conflicts, as well as the norms about the private war industry, and the norms about the regulation of the development of artificial intelligence, to address about the current race for the development of autonomous weapons of war which, endowed with artificial intelligence, are artifacts produced with the ability to identify human targets and autonomously proceed, summary and amoral execution, without the need of any human operation, so that many questions arise about moral implications, legal responsibility, legal personality, and the need for international treaties on the use of such intelligent and autonomous machines in wars and armed conflicts. Therefore, based on international humanitarian law and the international norms applicable to the private war industry, that regulates international war market, the plausibility of an international treaty for the non-development of this type of armament is questioned.
