Description

Basic understanding of these legal regimes. Explores complicated international and domestic regulatory issues including
private actors control global communications systems, social media, satellites, and currencies, all of which are vulnerable
to manipulation and increasingly autonomous systems and vehicles, such as drones and driverless vehicles, that can be
weaponized by states or non-state actors to devastating effect. Develops the intellectual flexibility required to understand
and respond to the challenges posed by new and emerging weapons or weaponizable technologies; identify and address
related ethical concerns; and be better able to anticipate and respond to future developments. (No prior knowledge of
the law of armed conflict, national security law, or technology is necessary.)
