Abstract
Aim. To identify aspects of the use of AI systems as a form of weapons and identify the challenges and potential risks facing humanity.
Methodology. Philosophical issues related to the implementation of AI systems in the military sphere are considered based on a systematic and interdisciplinary approach. Observations have been made on the aspects related to the weapons equipped with AI systems. The abilities of AI are analyzed in the context of socio-philosophical methodology and in this framework, the consequences for humanity are explored.
Results. The development and use of AI, especially in the military sphere, raises enough concerns of a very different nature. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that studying and understanding the issues of the philosophy of war in comparison with the universal values is becoming critical.
Research implications. This paper analyzes the ontological and ethical aspects of the use of AI in weapons systems and describes the possible social risks for humanity.
