The Power of Principles: Navigating Law, Tech, and Ethics in Modern Conflict

For the first Lawfully Speaking event of the academic year, Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy and Technology (CMIST) welcomed Major General (Ret.) Charles J. Dunlap Jr, a professor of the practice and executive director of Duke Law’s Center on Law, Ethics, and National Security. In his talk, Dunlap contended that as artificial intelligence, cyber tools, autonomous systems, and emerging weaponry reshape modern conflict, the law should focus less on creating rules for every new technology and more on preserving broad principles such as human dignity, restraint, and the protection of civilians.
