The United Nations has agreed to reassemble for talks in regards
to the concerns related to “killer robots” on April 13-17, 2015, and the
agreement was reached during the Convention on Conventional Weapons
(CCW) on Friday. UPI was there:
Talks in May of this year raised serious concern over Lethal Autonomous Weapons.
“Is it morally acceptable to delegate decisions about the use of
lethal force to such systems? If their use results in a war crime or
serious human rights violation, who would be legally responsible? If
responsibility cannot be determined as required by international law, is
it legal or ethical to deploy such systems,?” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon asked at the time.
“By continuing the talks, countries are acknowledging the many
concerns raised by autonomous warfare, but the technology is moving
faster than the international response,” said Mary Wareham, arms
advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “These talks should lead to a
new international treaty to ensure that humans retain control of
targeting and attack decisions.”
