The Phalanx CIWS is a computer-controlled cannon system. This system, which is deployed on many American warships, is designed at the flick of a switch to detect, track, engage, and confirm kills using self-contained radar. A human operator cannot match the performance of such a device. But the duration of its automaticity is regulated by a human operator. Will a day come when such automaticity is controlled by another automaton due to its superior performance? How many layers of automaticity should be tolerated when fighting a war? Some have suggested using block-chain computer code to better regulate autonomous systems (Husain 2017).

Best regards
FYI this well written article from HBR which outlines the current known limitations of Blockchain-
https://hbr.org/2017/01/the-truth-about-blockchain
Also there are concerns wrt the amount of computing power that is already being required to sustain Bitcoin along with the associated energy costs. Will this be sustainable moving forard? Right now I am not sure that anyone really knows.
It is interesting to watch all of this from the sidelines and see where it heads.
Dear Dr. Deborah Jean Verran,
Thank you for the recommendation. Ed Tehovnik
