James is a British assistant professor of War Studies at SDU in Odense and a visiting fellow at Yale University. His research focuses on drone warfare, contemporary security policy, and the history of warfare.
Currently, James is focusing his attention on the future of conflict, and how drones are being used maliciously by terrorist groups and non-state organizations for assassinations, surveillance, missile drops, spying, and to disrupt vulnerable domestic targets.
At TEDxOdense, James will tell us more about rogue drones. He will start by telling us how they impact air traffic, before exploring the darker side of this modern-day technology. The question is not IF a drone will ever hit a plane or helicopter—this has already happened—it is WHEN this will happen again, and what the fatal consequences may be.
As James himself puts it: "Humanity's most heinous atrocities have been carried out using tools made with the best intentions. Small 'toy' drones have the potential to cause large scale chaos and disruption."
At TEDxOdense 2019, Dr. James Rogers explores this uncharted landscape and explains how drones might impact our future.
