Abstract
The article analyses how robotisation as the latest advance in military technology can depersonalise the methods of killing in the 21st century by turning enemy soldiers and civilians into mere objects devoid of moral value. The departing assumption is that robotisation of warfare transforms military operations into automated industrial processes with the aim of removing empathy as a redundant ‘cost’. The development of autonomous weapons systems raises a number of sharp ethical controversies related to the projected moral insensitivity of robots regarding the treatment of enemies and civilian population. The futurist vision of war as a foreign policy instrument entirely ‘purified’ of the risk of morally wrong actions is in opposition with the negative effects of the use of drones. The author concludes that the use of lethal robots in combat would eventually remove enemy soldiers and civilians from the realm of ethical reasoning and deprive them of human dignity. Decision to kill in m...ilitary operations ought to be based on human conscience as the only proper framework of making decisions by reasoning whether an action is right or wrong.

U članku se analizira kako robotizacija kao poslednji napredak u vojnoj tehnologiji može da depersonalizuje metode ubijanja u 21. veku pretvaranjem neprijateljskih vojnika i civila u puke objekte lišene moralne vrednosti. Polazna pretpostavka je da robotizacija ratovanja pretvara vojne operacije u automatizovane industrijske procese sa ciljem uklanjanja empatije kao suvišne „cene“. Razvoj autonomnih oružanih sistema potiče brojne oštre etičke kontroverze vezane za projektovanu moralnu neosetljivost robota u pogledu postupanja sa neprijateljima i civilnim stanovništvom. Futuristička vizija rata kao instrumenta spoljne politike potpuno „pročišćenog“ od rizika moralno pogrešnih akcijama u suprotnosti je sa negativnim efektima korišćenja dronova. Autor zaključuje da bi upotreba smrtonosnih robota u borbi najzad uklonila neprijateljske vojnike i civile iz područja etičkog razmišljanja i lišila ih ljudskog dostojanstva. Odluka o ubistvu u vojnim operacijama trebalo bi da se temelji na ljudsk...oj savesti kao jedinom pravilnom okviru donošenja odluka promišljanjem da li je jedna akcija dobra ili loša.
