Public Lecture: Nuclear Wargames: Ethics and the Quest to Quantify Conflict
Government & Politics
Join us for a public lecture given by Dr John R. Emery (University of California, Irvine) on the quantification and gamification of warfare and it associated ethical challenges.
Dr John R. Emery is Tobis Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality at the University of California, Irvine and specialises in technologies of war and their impact on ethical theorising. His current research examines contemporary dilemmas of Artificial Intelligence and human/machine integration by drawing historical parallels to the advent of the computer and the evolution of nuclear wargaming through archival work at RAND. His previous work on drone warfare, counter-terrorism and the ethics of force short of war has been published in Ethics & International Affairs, as well as with Georgetown University Press and New York University Press.
Dr Emery's talk is followed by a brief discussion and Q&A. There will be a drinks reception for attendees after the lecture.
