“The issue is not just whether these weapons will be used, but how their precursor systems are already transforming the way wars are fought, minimizing the time needed to authorize a lethal attack...”

"Most drones require a human pilot. But some new Ukrainian drones, once locked on a target, can use A.I. to chase and strike it — with no further human involvement." Essential reading for those who believe machines should not make life + death decisions.

2026 presents an opportunity for states to move toward a treaty on #AutonomousWeapons that we all need. With the growing gap between development and regulation in #AI and autonomy, which has already resulted in devastating humanitarian harm, we need legal safeguards now.
