Segnalo il filmato divulgativo "The future of modern warfare. How technology is transforming conflicts", suggeritomi da Guglielmo Tamburrini, che ringrazio. Il filmato tratta in modo semplice e chiaro aspetti quali il nesso fra cyber e nucleare, e le armi autonome. Accenna anche alle attivita' in seno alla CCW e alla Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, con spezzoni di interviste al ministro degli esteri tedesco.
Il filmato e' della Deutsche Welle.

===================
The quest for a war-free world has a basic purpose: survival. But if in the process we learn  how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task.
Above all, remember your humanity.
-- Sir Joseph Rotblat

I don't quite know whether it is especially computer science or its subdiscipline Artificial Intelligence that has such an enormous affection for euphemism. We speak so spectacularly and so readily of computer systems that understand, that see, decide, make judgments, and so on, without ourselves recognizing our own superficiality and immeasurable naivete with respect to these concepts. And, in the process of so speaking, we anesthetise our ability to evaluate the quality of our work and, what is more important, to identify and become conscious of its end use.  […] One can't escape this state without asking, again and again: "What do I actually do? What is the final application and use of the products of my work?" and ultimately, "am I content or ashamed to have contributed to this use?"
-- Prof. Joseph Weizenbaum ["Not without us", ACM SIGCAS 16(2-3) 2--7 - Aug. 1986]
