Abstract

Mankind no longer merely has its advanced muscular or military capabilities, not even nuclear weapons, but has developed an advanced generation of highly destructive electronic machines to replace the human element in the management of bloody wars. But where will destructive technology take humanity's future? Will the fate of the state be controlled by robots after their brains are developed beyond human intelligence? Will humans be able to control the next technological challenge or that robots will control the fate of nations and peoples? According to above questions, the hypothesis of the increased control of military technology of combat robots over the course of future wars has been formulated, resulting in the loss of human decisionmakers control over the course of political life.
