"What regulation should look like is relatively straightforward, even if it is hard to enforce. AI systems used in targeting must be explainable – not via probability score but reasoning that a lawyer can audit."

"while computer algorithms can process data much faster than humans, speeding up targeting decisions significantly erodes human oversight and accountability, and will inevitably mean more civilian casualties."

"We are doing no less in this room than defining the role of humans in future warfare, a responsibility that should weigh heavy on everyone."

What’s it like going to UN Meeting on #AutonomousWeapons? Especially as we’re seeing #AI and #automation becoming a greater part of how we live and engage in warfare?
📹 Lauren from our Youth Network shares her experience of joining the #StopKillerRobots delegation at the UN in Geneva 🇺🇳
"This conflict is...about where the line should be drawn for how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used militarily. About who sets the standard, and how."

“many researchers have ethical and moral objections to AI’s use for #autonomousWeapons… #AI models can give inaccurate outputs, and how they reach their conclusions is often opaque.” @nature.com

The tug-of-war in the United States highlights precisely the fundamental question that states must agree on: What limitations should we place on weapons systems that are capable of identifying, selecting, and attacking targets on their own, without human intervention?

Tomorrow at 5:20pm, we’ll be at a screening of new film #DRGN followed by Q&A featuring Isabelle Jones, our Head of Gov't Relations & Advocacy, who speak about the gap between this sci-fi horror and our reality.

As states discussed changes to a text that could form the basis of an #AutonomousWeapons treaty, the use of AI targeting in Iran demonstrated that meaningful human control over the use of force is already being weakened to devastating humanitarian effect.

"AI-enabled decision-support systems reduce the separation between recommending and executing a strike to a 'dangerously thin' line and risk introducing automation bias, when humans overly trust outputs produced by machines."

“AI gets it wrong...We need humans to check the output of generative AI when the stakes are life and death.”
The U.S. military is using advanced generative AI to create target lists. Machines should decide who lies and who dies. #StopKillerRobots

"[Autonomous weapons] are, among other things, moral distance machines. They allow states to industrialize killing while diffusing responsibility...until no individual person feels or can be made to feel that they bear meaningful accountability for a specific death."

States have the opportunity to make this a reality by negotiating a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons. We stand willing and ready to support them — this issue is too important for inaction.

Many thanks to all who attended our #UN side event today.
As we near the #CCW Review Conference later this year, it is important to reflect on the 10+ years work of the #UNCCW on #AutonomousWeapons. This forum is crucial need for autonomous weapons regulation becomes increasingly urgent.
🚨 SIDE EVENT + PUBLICATION LAUNCH: join us for today's side event on the progress of the #GGE on LAWS after a decade of work on #AutonomousWeapons and ahead of the November #CCWUN Review Conference later this year where the group's mandate will be reviewed.
We're back in the room for the afternoon session of the #CCWUN meeting on #AutonomousWeapons. Over these first two days of the meeting, we've made a number of statements
🔗 Watch live: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1y...
⬇️ Full statements
The current context that the current United Nations meeting on #AutonomousWeapons are taking place in demonstrate that it's time for governments to show leadership and negotiate a treaty to stop the automation of killing. Here's what happened on Day 1 of #CCWUN meeting on #KillerRobots

As states discuss #AutonomousWeapons at the #UN this week, this is what's happening outside the Geneva meeting room:
📌 Increasing reports of weapons with autonomous features being used
📌 Military AI tools linked to serious civilian harm
📌 Pressure on industry to adopt more lax ethical standards
🆕 Our new regional briefings explain the region-specific concerns for #AutonomousWeapons and what states in particular parts of the world have done to work toward a treaty to #StopKillerRobots
👉 www.stopkillerrobots.org/skr-research...
Governments need to launch treaty negotiations to #StopKillerRobots now.
This week we’re at the UN Geneva for killer robots discussions to remind states what’s at stake.
This action is too important for inaction.
