This report examines Hungary’s evolving legal and institutional framework governing artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous weapon systems (AWSs) within the context of criminal justice, national defence and international humanitarian law. It introduces the definition of AWS as established by the legislator in 2021 and identifies the conditions imposed on its deployment, emphasising proportionality, human oversight and the protection of civilians. The article also presents the constitutional and statutory rules on the use of force, including the interplay between national decision-making, EU obligations, NATO and the principles of the EU Charter. Hungarian criminal law provides a comprehensive system of liability of military personnel, including command responsibility, aligning with the rules of the Rome Statute, though practical case law remains limited. Emerging academic debate focuses mainly on the compatibility of AWSs with the ius in bello principles and the attribution of responsibility for autonomous system misconduct. The report concludes that while Hungary has a detailed regulatory base, rapid technological change and rather limited judicial practice necessitate further refinement of both national legislation and engagement in international legal disputes.
