Robots and autonomous weapons with AI: do they respect human ethics?

Published on January 21, 2025

Military robots equipped with artificial intelligence and autonomous weapons raise a major question: can they respect human values? Inspired by Isaac Asimov's laws, an American program explores this complex issue. DARPA, the military research agency, is focusing on creating ethical criteria to regulate these technologies. The stakes are enormous. While autonomous weapons are already transforming military strategies, their use raises concerns. How can we ensure that these machines make decisions aligned with human moral principles? Drawing on Asimov's ideas, DARPA is attempting to provide answers, opening an essential debate on the future of warfare and technological ethics.

A spherical vector-based adaptive evolutionary particle swarm optimization for UAV path planning under threat conditions

January 21, 2025
Abstract:Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning is a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. With the increasing scale of UAV applications, finding an efficient and safe path in complex real-world environments is crucial. However, existing particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms struggle with these problems as they fail to consider UAV dynamics, resulting in many infeasible sol
