Drone warriors - Autonomous weapon systems and the wars of the future | DW Documentary

As the war on Ukraine rages on, drone technology is advancing rapidly — and fundamentally changing the battlefield. What happens when machines gain power over life and death? How close are we to the ultimate "killer drone"—an autonomous weapon that can select and destroy a target without human intervention? Does it matter whether death is caused by human hands or by a machine? Can we limit this technology to the front lines, or will it seep into everyday life? The film explores how tech drones are changing war.
