This article analyses whether autonomous weapons systems comply with international humanitarian law, particularly in the context of Russia‘s aggression against Ukraine. It discusses the challenges of applying jus in bello principles, technological reliability limitations, and attribution of responsibility for damage caused. Since AI solution models cannot provide the same situational awareness as human judgement, the article proposes establishing strict technological performance criteria and clear liability mechanisms for the use of such systems.
