John Kaag on Drone Warfare and the Public Imagination

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 12/02/21 1

In 2012, U.S. drone strikes occurred most often in which nation? If you don’t know, you’re not alone. 27 percent of Americans reported they had no a clue and another 60 percent got it wrong. What should the media cover when it comes to drones and military robotics? And what responsibility do journalists have to focus in on the most pressing moral and legal questions when it comes to drone technologies? John Kaag -- Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and co-author of the recent "Drone Warfare" -- discusses how the American and international public think about drone warfare, and poses pressing ethical questions about drones in military and civilian use.
