Abstract In this article, I critique the current debates surrounding autonomous weapons systems, using feminist posthuman theory to make sense of such systems – and the relation between human and machine – in terms of automation and autonomy. The dominant narratives about autonomous weapons tend to present them as exceptional; they are distinct from all the other kinds of human inventions that can kill. Further attention is required, not on autonomous weapons themselves but on the delegation of killing to a far broader range of technologies across the human–machine/autonomous–automated spectrum. While current attempts at legal regulation distinguish between civil and military technologies, such a distinction becomes impossible in light of the links between civil and military technologies and the killing potential of many technologies, including artificial intelligence.

关于自主武器系统和其他杀人机器的话语的人后异种主义分析

摘要在本文中，我批评了围绕自动武器系统的当前辩论，利用女性主义的后人类理论从自动化和自治的角度来理解此类系统以及人与机器之间的关系。关于自动武器的主流叙述倾向于将它们视为例外。它们不同于所有其他可以杀死的人类发明。需要进一步的关注，而不是自动武器本身，而是将杀人的授权委派给更广泛的人机/自主自动频谱技术。尽管目前在法律法规上的尝试将民用和军事技术区分开来，但鉴于民用和军事技术与许多技术的杀伤力之间的联系，这种区分是不可能的，
