Moralities of Drone Violence

Explores how we should think ethically about drone violence Moral uncertainty surrounding the use of armed drones has been a persistent problem for more than two decades. In response, Moralities of Drone Violence provides greater clarity by investigating the ways in which violent drone use is seen as just or unjust in a variety of circumstances. Adopting a broad-based approach to normative inquiry, this book organises moral ideas around a series of concepts of drone violence, including warfare, violent law enforcement, tele-intimate violence and violence devolved from humans to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Christian Enemark assesses these concepts to discern and address the potential for armed drone systems to support moral progress or to generate injustice.
