DESCRIPTION:In the last decade\, robotics has moved from the world of scien
 ce fiction onto the battlefield\, and soon onto the home front. The U.S. m
 ilitary for example\, went from having a handful of unarmed “drones” to mo
 re than 8\,000 in the air and another 12\,000 on the ground. It is joined 
 by over 50 other nations in using military robotics\, from Canada\, France
  and the U.K.\, to Russia\, China\, and Iran. And now\, this new technolog
 y is increasingly being used in fields that range from law enforcement to 
 media.  Much like gunpowder or the steam engine\, this new technology is t
 hus posing a series of tough new questions\, not just in its use\, but als
 o in its ripple effects onto the realms of politics\, business\, law\, and
  ethics. Join P. W. Singer\, best-selling author of the book Wired for War
  and consultant for groups that range from the Pentagon to the Call of Dut
 y video game series\, as he discusses the robotics revolution and the new 
 story of technology and war that our machines are starting to write.      
  Peter Warren Singer\, Director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative and
  senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, will be delivering the 2012 
 Media@���ϲ����� Beaverbrook Annual Lecture entitled\, “Wired for War: Everyth
 ing You Wanted to Know about Robots and War but Were Afraid to Ask.” The l
 ecture will take place at Moot Court\, Room 100\, within the Faculty of La
 w (3660 Peel Street)\, on Thursday\, November 29\, at 6:00 p.m. It is free
  and open to the public.  Singer is the author of Wired for War: The Robot
 ics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century (Penguin\, 2009)\; Childre
 n at War (Pantheon\, 2005)\; and Corporate Warrior: The Rise of the Privat
 ized Military Industry (Cornell University Press\, 2003). As the youngest 
 scholar to be named senior fellow in Brooking’s history\, he has also been
  mentioned on Foreign Policy Magazine’s Top 100 Global Thinkers list\, the
  Smithsonian Institution’s list of 100 “leading innovators in the nation\,
 ” and CNN’s “New Guard” list of the next generation of newsmakers. Singer 
 has acted as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense and the FBI\,
  and as adviser to a host of entertainment programs – most recently for th
 e forthcoming sequel to the popular Call of Duty games\, Call of Duty: Bla
 ck Ops 2.
