Killer robots or autonomous weapon systems (AWS) are representative of the
application of AI in new areas, where worries about its wide application can be
fully expressed. This being said, it is expected that such systems have elicited many
reactions. These systems use AI in their main (or critical) functions, i.e. to decide
about the target, and what to be done about it. In recent years there have been many
debates from ethical, legal, and political standpoints about such systems; these
debates revolve around what position one should adopt on their development,
production, and use. Though such questions are important theoretically, the actual
technological developments are getting closer to the ideals discussed, making the
issue even more important. Here I assess some ethical arguments for and against
AWS. It seems that none of the arguments, for or against, is compelling enough to
take a position. Therefore, either we should look for further arguments, or look into
the more general implications of the current state of arguments about the just war
theory, the main framework in which the issue is discussed. Along with this
examination, some main ethical aspects of the issue are reviewed.
