Comment On National Oxford Uehiro Prize In Practical Ethics: Why The Responsibility Gap Is Not A Compelling Objection To Lethal Autonomous Weapons By Clive Robinson

This article discusses the moral implications of using autonomous weapons in war and whether it is possible to hold someone or something morally responsible for war crimes committed by these weapons. Robert Sparrow argues that it is often impossible to identify a person or machine that can be held morally responsible for these crimes. The article received an honourable mention in the undergraduate category of the 2023 National Oxford Uehiro Prize in Practical Ethics.
