Writers Trae Stephens and Katherine Boyle argue in a Washington Post opinion piece that just war theory does not prohibit the development of new military technologies, including AI-powered weapons systems. They contend that AI-enabled weapons can be reconciled with just-war principles provided they preserve human accountability, proportionality, and oversight. The authors make the case that the United States should prioritize developing military AI capabilities to deter adversaries and avoid a more dangerous global security environment.
