About

Andrew Brown is an emerging scholar whose research sits at the critical intersection of ethics, artificial intelligence, and military technology. His most notable work, "Ethics, Autonomy, and Killer Drones: Can Machines Do Right?" (2023), tackles one of the most pressing moral dilemmas of our time: whether autonomous machines can — or should — serve as moral arbiters in the complexities of modern warfare. Brown argues that humanity has already entered what he calls the "Autonomous Revolution," a transformative era in which AI systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes military contexts, demanding urgent ethical scrutiny rather than delayed deliberation. By interrogating the philosophical foundations of machine autonomy and moral decision-making, Brown challenges researchers, policymakers, and technologists to confront uncomfortable questions about accountability, agency, and the ethics of lethal force. Though early in his career, his work has already garnered 7 citations, reflecting growing scholarly interest in this vital conversation. Brown's contributions position him as a thought-provoking voice in AI ethics and the evolving discourse surrounding autonomous weapons systems.
