US & UK at every #CCWUN: Nobody is talking about anything remotely connected to Terminator-like systems. It is unhelpful to focus our discussion on systems that will never exist. US & UK: Every new defence system should be named Skynet or Skyborg... #AutonomousWeapons twitter.com/M__Verbruggen/…

Last speaker @ today's @UN Security Council debate on protecting civilians in armed conflict is #France - raises issue of "lethal weapons systems featuring autonomy" + welcomes "substantial progress" made in #CCWUN talks, which has produced "guiding principles" @FR_Desarmement pic.twitter.com/mS5kE5PaHB

For years @UN Security Council's 5 permanent members have deflected mounting calls to protect civilians from fully autonomous weapons. Same states are spending millions on military applications of artificial intelligence + emerging tech stopkillerrobots.org/2020/05/… #Lead2Protect twitter.com/BanKillerRobot…

Today the @UN Security Council will debate a new report by Sec-Gen @antonioguterres that urges states to protect civilians from serious threats raised by lethal autonomous weapons systems stopkillerrobots.org/2020/05/… #Lead2Protect #NotATarget #TeamHuman #KeepCtrl pic.twitter.com/MtN74EYndv

We need to address the legal, moral and ethical implications posed by the development of lethal autonomous weapons systems.

Machines with the power and discretion to take lives without human involvement must be prohibited by international law.
