The Future of War and Challenges for Humanitarians - Featuring the President of the ICRC
The 5th Annual Swiss Day marks the ongoing collaboration between the 乐鱼 体育 and the Europa Institut at the University of Zurich.
Will tomorrow鈥檚 wars be fought on the same terms as today's? How will humanitarians need to adapt? Digitalization, artificial intelligence, and big data are transforming our world - and new technologies, such as autonomous weapons and the tools of cyber warfare, are new cause for humanitarian concern.
Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), will discuss some of the major future challenges for humanitarian relief and the rules of war on the not-too-distant horizon.
This event is held in cooperation with the Embassy of Switzerland in the United States and the Europa Institut at the University of Zurich.
