Note: Frederik Carl Windfeld's responses are referred to as "FW"(e.g., FW).

What research will you be doing here?
FW: "During my stay, I will be working on the empirical sections of my PhD thesis, which is concerned with lethal autonomous weapons systems, and—more generally—how we ought to study emergent and disruptive technologies. Currently, I am working on two chapters; one on reimaginations of the fighter pilot brought on by increasing automation in and beyond the cockpit of military aircraft, and another on early envisionments and experimental use of non-human agents for targeting and direction of lethal force in R&D programs."


Are you connected to any specific research projects here?
FW: "I do not think so."
