In the second episode of this three -part summer series about technology, editor Juurd Eijsvoogel shows how technological developments change wars. In a permanent interaction between the battlefield and laboratories, new applications are used at lightning speed, tested and adjusted. How do current drones differ from the drones that the US used during the War on Terror? What is the role of AI in modern warfare? Which new moral dilemmas arise here? And can autonomous weapon systems actually stop?
