Quantum Game Theory for Autonomous Weapon Systems Beyond meaningful human control

When you advocate the need to regulate AWS, you really mean you advocate the need to regulate who can take the decision to use them; fully autonomous weapons are as unlawful as the president of any state. In any case, the use of AWS does not render an operation illegal under rules of ius ad bellum. A different scenario is that of terminal wars, in which AWS are designed from scratch to disobey all and any command they may ever receive from whatever disrupted command and control center happens to survive the first strike."



"PSVs are inherently indiscriminate during the post-strike theater as, by design, they consider a target anything surviving the first strike. The idea behind PSVs is that if they are launched it is as a very last resort and in order to guarantee the mutual self-destruction. In other wars, their operational goal is to guarantee that the war in which they are used is the last war. That's why they are classified under the so-called 'no-future wars'."

"According to the Treaty, states undertake not to place in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction, install such weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner. However, PSVs and MilOrbs do not orbit the Earth, they carry no nuclear weapons, and they are launched from Earth, therefore the Treaty obviously does not apply. But the crux of the matter is this: once they are launched there will be no way to stop them and, if they succeed in their mission, there will be none left to complain about violation of any treaty whatsoever."

"they have total algorithmic autonomy in war; and though it is true that today’s technology is, at its core, designed, developed, and deployed by humans, it is also true that liquid software encodes quantum game theory algorithms which rely on the principle that the “real” is to be taken as a type of program, to which we are, however, not forced to cling a priori."
