About
Srdjan Korac investigates the intersection of military ethics, technology, and human security, with a particular focus on how advanced weaponry reshapes moral frameworks. His most cited work, "Depersonalisation of killing: Towards a 21st century use of force 'Beyond Good and Evil?'" (2018, 8 citations), critically examines how robotisation transforms warfare by stripping enemy combatants and civilians of moral value, effectively objectifying them. This analysis builds on philosophical traditions to argue that technological distancing erodes ethical restraints in conflict. In his more recent paper, "Why Do We Fear The Robopocalypse? Human Insecurity in The Age of Technophobia" (2024, 2 citations), Korac shifts focus to the cultural roots of technophobia, tracing how science fiction narratives—particularly those based on the intelligence explosion hypothesis—construct and amplify fears of autonomous machines. By dissecting the Robopocalyptic narrative layer by layer, he reveals how storytelling shapes public anxiety about AI and robotics. Korac’s work bridges philosophy, security studies, and media analysis, offering a nuanced understanding of how technology redefines violence and human vulnerability. His contributions are essential for scholars grappling with the ethical and psychological dimensions of emerging military technologies.
