“this issue concerns the future of multilateralism, of international law, and of our shared humanity…autonomy in weapons will not be confined to the battlefield - it will affect law enforcement, border control & other domains of public life” #KillerRobots.

Autonomy is no longer a distant military aspiration; it is landing on today’s battlefields⤵️. 🕸️ Ukraine's “Operation Spiderweb”.🇮🇳 India field-testing an AI machine-gun that can reportedly function in “Autonomous mode”. 📰 Read @AutomatedDR's latest #news.

“Autonomous weapons cannot comprehend what it means to be in a state of war, much less what it means to have – or to end – a human life.”. We spoke with @CIVICUSalliance about our work t and the global push toward regulation.

Last year, we were in #Vienna🇦🇹 for the largest conference outside the @UN on #AutonomousWeapons. Here’s a reminder of what we did there to #StopKillerRobots

Defence companies are making unattainable promises about the effectiveness and safety of #AutonomousWeapons. Don’t believe the hype. @ElkeSchwarz explains why ⤵️

“[Technology] makes mistakes and we’re willing to tolerate that in the civilian world…but when it comes to the battlefield a mistake can mean life or death. And it’s very easy for a machine to mistake a target. “.– @marywareham @hrw @UN_News_Centre .

Around this time last month we brought diplomats, civil society and journalists together to watch our documentary #ImmoralCode and discuss the risks of #AutonomousWeapons and the ethics of delegating life or deaths decisions to machines. Watch the film:

“The computational perspective which underpins #AutonomousWeapons always objectifies its environment. Objectifying human environments means objectifying humans.” . Read the latest from Dr. @ElkeSchwarz ⤵️.
