Artificiell intelligens som livsform : Om autonoma vapensystems rättsliga ställning

Book chapter (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Artificiell intelligens bryter med invanda sätt att tänka kring å ena sidan objekt, ting, teknologiska artefakter och, å andra sidan, handlande subjekt. Somliga tänker rent av på artificiell intelligens som en ny form av liv. En sfär där artificiell intelligens står inför ett genombrott är i krig. Av förklarliga skäl finns starka åsikter om detta. Utvecklingen förkastas som innebärandes slutet på ”humanitet” i krig med krav på ett omedelbart stopp av utveckling och användning och, motsatt, omfamnas, med förhoppningar om en dramatisk ökning av militära styrkors effektivitet. Teknologin tycks erbjuda möjlighet att befästa större områden militärt, nå djupare in på fienders territorium och utökad uthållighet på slagfältet utan risk för egna soldater och till, på sikt, lägre kostnad.

Rudolf Kjellén: Nordic biopolitics before the welfare state
- 2015
-
In: Retfærd: Nordisk juridisk tidsskrift. - 0105-1121. ; 35:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article aims to contribute to the history of biopolitical thought through a more accurate understanding of the Swedish professor of political science Rudolf Kjellén considered both in his historical and political context. Kjellén coined the term ‘biopolitics’, as early as 1905, in a two-volume work entitled The Great Powers, and developed it even further in a 1916 book entitled The State as a Form of Life. Because of the organicist analogies deployed by Kjellén, his biopolitical theory of the state is considered as a form of ‘vitalism’ or ‘organicism’ in the contemporary literature on biopolitics. Based on a close examination of texts only available in Swedish (and, to some extent, German) I argue that this fails to account for Kjellén’s argument for a strong state and his analysis of the rationality of state action in a multiplicity of areas of state intervention, including the guarding, refining and securing of the population stock. This reading brings Kjellén’s concept of biopolitics significantly closer to the reality that the French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault described, using the same concept, more than a half-century later. Kjellén’s writings also foreshadow subsequent developments of keen interest for biopolitical study in a Nordic context, particularly the rise of the social democratic welfare state and the social engineering of the population material, starting in the 1930s.

Targeted Killing: A Legal and Political History
- 2016
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Looking beyond the current debate’s preoccupation with the situations of insecurity of the second intifada and 9/11, this book reveals how targeted killing is intimately embedded in both Israeli and US statecraft and in the problematic relation of sovereign authority and lawful violence underpinning the modern state system. The book details the legal and political issues raised in targeted killing as it has emerged in practice including questions of domestic constitutional authority, the norms on the use of force in international law, the law of targeting and human rights. The distinctiveness of Israeli and US targeted killing is accounted for by way of the compulsion of legality characteristic of liberal democracy, a compulsion that makes imperative the ability to distinguish between legal ‘targeted killing’ and extra-legal ‘political assassination’. Not only does this prepare for a highly legalized framework for the extraterritorial killing of designated terrorists, it carries the potential to alter the course of the international law of force.
