AI warfare is here: How intelligent drones Harop and Heron fronted India’s Operation Sindoor

The integration of AI in warfare raises complex ethical questions, with lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWs) potentially minimizing human casualties and enhancing precision. While concerns exist regarding accountability and escalation, AI could also promote transparency and deter aggression through the concept of Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM). This challenges conventional views, suggesting AI might make war more humane.
