About

Anzhelika Solovyeva is a leading scholar at the intersection of international security, emerging military technologies, and critical security studies. Her research focuses primarily on the political and ethical dimensions of autonomous weapons systems (AWS) and the militarization of artificial intelligence. Solovyeva’s major contributions include challenging conventional narratives around “killer robots,” particularly through her analysis of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. In her highly cited 2023 article, “When stigmatization does not work: over-securitization in efforts of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots” (12 citations), she critically examines how securitization strategies can backfire, offering a nuanced theoretical and empirical critique of transnational advocacy. Her 2022 book, *Militarizing Artificial Intelligence* (11 citations), provides a comprehensive framework for understanding AI’s role in the global revolution in military affairs, exploring the politics of weaponization and regulation. Solovyeva’s work also identifies six key dilemmas posed by AWS, moving beyond simplistic debates to highlight complex governance challenges. Her scholarship is essential for students and researchers grappling with the future of warfare, arms control, and the ethical implications of autonomous technologies.
