Future Warfare and the Decline of Human Decisionmaking

[samiaseo222]

A key problem in "future engineering" is that the ramification, the reality in which this new technology is set is not given. In contrast to conventional engineering, the relevance and the importance of research problems cannot easily be checked by studying "reality" or "the market". For the same reasons its not easy to test the validity of ones results.

To remedy this situation, the project has developed job function email list a number of techno-socio-economical (TSE) scenarios for telecommunications in the time period 2010-2020. The relevant technical details of the scenarios form a set of background assumptions(BA). Any set of working assumptions have to be consistent with these BA:s.

In the further future, the arrival of very advanced, microscopic information systems may allow extremely sophisticated data processing capacities to be made an integral part of the human brain. However, assuming this proves to be possible, such a step may raise objections from those who object on moral and ethical grounds to blurring the distinction between humans and machines. It also does not address the relative fragility of human beings in combat situations.
