| contents | <p>The proliferation of autonomous weapons systems across the Horn of Africa between 2015<br>and 2026 introduces economic consequences of extraordinary severity and long-term reach.<br>This article argues that the technical fragilities inherent in current autonomous weapons,<br>including algorithmic unpredictability, goal misgeneralization, and the irreversible erosion<br>of human oversight, translate directly into quantifiable macroeconomic instability across a<br>region already burdened by climate-induced scarcity, unresolved territorial disputes, and<br>fragile public finances. The article further contends that existing frameworks for<br>understanding and governing these risks are fundamentally inadequate because they remain<br>anchored in monocultural, Western-centric epistemological assumptions that are<br>structurally incapable of accounting for the plural knowledge systems, ethical traditions,<br>and governance logics of the Horn of Africa. Drawing on the author's original Pluriversal<br>AI framework, first published in June 2025 and formally deposited under DOI<br>10.5281/zenodo.19161652, this article proposes a governance paradigm that is<br>epistemically plural, culturally embedded, and grounded in African philosophical traditions,<br>particularly Ubuntu, as the foundational architecture for the regulation of autonomous<br>weapons in the region.<br><br></p> |
