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. 
  military for example\, went from having a handful of unarmed “drones” to 
  more than 8\,000 in the air and another 12\,000 on the ground. It is  joi
 ned by over 50 other nations in using military robotics\, from Canada\,  F
 rance and the U.K.\, to Russia\, China\, and Iran. And now\, this new  tec
 hnology is increasingly being used in fields that range from law  enforcem
 ent to media.  Much like gunpowder or the steam engine\, this new technolo
 gy is thus  posing a series of tough new questions\, not just in its use\,
  but also in  its ripple effects onto the realms of politics\, business\, 
 law\, and  ethics. Join P. W. Singer\, best-selling author of the book Wir
 ed for War and consultant for groups that range from the Pentagon to the C
 all of  Duty video game series\, as he discusses the robotics revolution a
 nd the  new story of technology and war that our machines are starting to 
 write.       Peter Warren Singer\, Director of the 21st Century Defense In
 itiative and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, will be deliveri
 ng the 2012 Media@51�Թ���Beaverbrook Annual Lecture entitled\, “Wired for 
 War: Everything You Wanted to Know about Robots and War but Were Afraid to
  Ask.” The lecture will take place at Moot Court\, Room 100\, within the F
 aculty  of Law (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 Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century (Penguin\, 2
 009)\; Children at War (Pantheon\, 2005)\; and Corporate Warrior: The Rise
  of the Privatized Military Industry (Cornell  University Press\, 2003). A
 s 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 Th
 inkers list\, the Smithsonian Institution’s list of 100  “leading innovato
 rs 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 D
 efense and the FBI\, and as adviser to a host of  entertainment programs –
  most recently for the forthcoming sequel to the  popular Call of Duty gam
 es\, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
