Event Details
Developments in Artificial Intelligence are sold as having the capacity to improve our lives in areas that range from transportation to health and education. But, in the area of warfare, increasing automation in weapons systems and the use of AI to identify and strike targets could have unpredictable and devastating results - not to mention crossing serious moral lines as we move closer to delegating decisions about who to kill to machines. In light of current global security rhetoric, this panel explores the current status of autonomous warfare, the real risks this technology poses, and why now is the time to negotiate an international treaty to halt the increasing automation of killing and ensure meaningful human control over lethal autonomous weapons.
