Clinical Informatics: Recursive Concurrence Intravenous Medication Administration Systems Protocols for Addressing the Potential Problem of Recessive Lethal Autonomy in Smart Infusion Systems

Smart Infusion Pumps are vital tools for use in administering a broad range of parenteral/intravenous medications. Safe and effective use of smart infusion pumps depends upon their integration with Pump Servers, Computerized Physician Order Entry Systems, Pharmacy Information Systems, DERS/MERS Dose/Medication Error Reduction Systems( and the digital Drug Libraries that they use), eMARS/electronic Medication Administration Records Systems, etc. More computer systems result in more computer network connections, with systems that run on ever more lines of computer software code. Resulting in more chaos and more complexity, and inevitably a greater likelihood for systems failure and/or malfunction - this in effect runs contrary to the objective of deploying clinical informatics solutions such as smart infusion systems, due to their inherent technical and chronic performance problems as well as error prone usage that may occasion Recessive(unintended but underlying) Lethal Autonomy. The Recursive Concurrence protocols suggested in this paper are a means for reducing if not eliminating the challenging phenomenon of Recessive Lethal Autonomy in clinical informatics devices and/or systems.

Humanitarian Algorithms : A Codified Key Safety Switch Protocol for Lethal Autonomy

With the deployment of lethal autonomous weapons, there is the requirement that any such platform complies with the precepts of International Humanitarian Law. Humanitarian Algorithms[9: p. 9] ensure that lethal autonomous weapon systems perform military/security operations, within the confines of International Humanitarian Law. Unlike other existing techniques of regulating lethal autonomy this scheme advocates for an approach that enables Machine Learning. Lethal autonomous weapons must be equipped with appropriate fail-safe mechanisms that locks them if they malfunction.

Post-Westgate SWAT : C4ISTAR Architectural Framework for Autonomous Network Integrated Multifaceted Warfighting Solutions Version 1.0 : A Peer-Reviewed Monograph

Police SWAT teams and Military Special Forces face mounting pressure and challenges from adversaries that can only be resolved by way of ever more sophisticated inputs into tactical operations. Lethal Autonomy provides constrained military/security forces with a viable option, but only if implementation has got proper empirically supported foundations. Autonomous weapon systems can be designed and developed to conduct ground, air and naval operations. This monograph offers some insights into the challenges of developing legal, reliable and ethical forms of autonomous weapons, that address the gap between Police or Law Enforcement and Military operations that is growing exponentially small. National adversaries are today in many instances hybrid threats, that manifest criminal and military traits, these often require deployment of hybrid-capability autonomous weapons imbued with the capability to taken on both Military and/or Security objectives. The Westgate Terrorist Attack of 21st September 2013 in the Westlands suburb of Nairobi, Kenya is a very clear manifestation of the hybrid combat scenario that required military response and police investigations against a fighting cell of the Somalia based globally networked Al Shabaab terrorist group.
