Being Transparent about Transparency: A Model for Human-Robot Interaction (2013, background): “Further, robotic systems within the military may be operated in hostile, complex situations and may be given the authority to execute lethal decisions within the battlespace (Arkin, 2009).”
Artificial Intelligence and Responsible Innovation (2013, background): “Finally, arguments have been put forward by AI researchers and others (e.g., Docherty 2012; Arkin 2009) both for and against the development of lethal autonomous robots for military operations.”
