JURIST examines the increasing deployment of AI-enabled drones and the associated legal and ethical challenges related to state responsibility and the rule of law. The article discusses accountability issues for autonomous drone operations, particularly in military and surveillance contexts, where decisions are partially or fully made by AI systems.

It emphasizes the need for clear legal frameworks to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law and human rights standards. The piece argues that states must establish mechanisms to regulate AI-driven drones, assign liability for misuse, and uphold ethical principles to maintain legitimacy and trust.
