Hyperwars are conflicts that employ artificial intelligence (AI) in military or state operations without meaningful human control (MHC) leading to:

Explosive weapons in populated areas

The use of explosive weapons in civilian areas is a leading cause of casualities, especially where targeted by AI.

Civilian and environmental atrocities

Civilians and their environments are subject to a wide array of attacks against their dignity, livelihood and infrastructure.

Mass disinformation and surveillance

Information wars target dissent and aim to shift public opinion, often through dehumanizing rhetoric, censorship and fabrications.
