The Warring with Machines Project co-organized a conference with PRIO Global Fellow Kaushik Roy of Jadavpur University in Kolkata. The conference was titled "AI and the Transformation of Warfare: Perspectives from South Asia and Beyond."
This book, published by Cambridge University Press, challenges the view, common among Western scholars, that precolonial India lacked a tradition of military philosophy. It traces the evolution of theories of warfare in India from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the debate between Dharmayuddha (Just War) and Kutayuddha (Unjust War) within Hindu philosophy.
Kaushik Roy is a senior researcher at PRIO's Centre for the Study of Civil War, and a Reader in History at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India.
The Ethics, Norms and Identities programme at PRIO has received funding from the Research Council of Norway's Humaniora programme to conduct a major project on the comparative ethics of war. It will examine how war and ethics is viewed within the world's major religious traditions. The project will run for three years, and was one out of eight successful applicants for this funding.
