Rapidly developing new technologies such as drones, lethal autonomous weapon systems, and artificial intelligence are creating a modern revolution in military affairs that poses legal and ethical questions about warfare.
So said William Renn Gade, deputy general counsel for intelligence and security with the Department of Defense, when he recently explored the impact of technological advancements on the law of warfare as part of the “Lawfully Speaking: A Forum on Law & Ethics” series hosted by the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy and Technology (CMIST).
Warfare today has moved beyond the steel, gunpowder, rifled muskets, and traditional battlefields of the past into a world of artificial intelligence (AI) and space. For this reason, Gade offers legal guidance to senior leaders on intelligence, cyber, space, sensitive activities, security, AI, and advanced technology. A former Army officer, he also has served as general counsel for the Defense Intelligence Agency and as senior legal counsel at the National Counterterrorism Center and the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive.
