About
Jai Galliott is a leading scholar at the intersection of military ethics, robotics, and just war theory, whose work redefines how we understand conflict in the age of autonomous systems. His research centers on the moral and legal implications of emerging technologies, from lethal autonomous weapons to human-robot teaming in military operations. Galliott’s most influential contribution is his edited volume *Force Short of War in Modern Conflict* (2019, 32 citations), which provides a groundbreaking framework for aligning the rules of war with contemporary grey-zone tactics. He has also shaped debates on anthropomorphism in military robotics, co-authoring key papers like “Saving Private Robot” (2021, 19 citations) and “Mapping Meaning and Purpose in Human-Robot Teams” (2021, 15 citations), which explore how soldiers perceive and interact with autonomous agents. His work on “The soldier’s tolerance for autonomous systems” (2018, 12 citations) introduced the critical concept of tolerance versus trust, challenging purely technical solutions to human-machine integration. Beyond military ethics, Galliott has contributed to space governance with *Commercial Space Exploration: Ethics, Policy and Governance* (2015, 20 citations). With over 160 citations across his top papers, Galliott’s research is essential reading for anyone grappling with the ethical frontiers of modern warfare and technology.
