may be at stake in
Does the writer with "our very humanity may be at stake in keeping human oversight over military conflict" advise that in order to save our humanity we have to keep human oversight over military conflicts and not step toward fully automated wars"?
Context:
Can we trust a world where images are made and viewed only by machines, which then automatically initiate a predetermined response, without the input of any human? Farocki suggests that we cannot, and that our very humanity may be at stake in keeping human oversight over military conflict, which now can be carried out solely by computers.
