Question
Four forms of digital conflict
Answer
Infrastructure attacks, information attacks, autonomous weapons, and dependence on private infrastructure.
Question
Why attribution is central
Answer
Every rule about conflict assumes you know who acted, and digital conflict is designed to be deniable.
Question
What is new about autonomous weapons
Answer
A wrong selection has no person whose decision it was, so no one can be held responsible.
Question
The private infrastructure problem
Answer
A company's commercial decision about service coverage can become a military decision — an arrangement no rule anticipated.
