UN warns humanity is dangerously close to letting machines make kill decisions

The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross are urging countries to adopt bans and restrictions on autonomous weapons systems — commonly known as killer robots. Both organisations warn that humanity is dangerously close to allowing machines to make life-and-death decisions without human oversight. The absence of international regulation risks the uncontrolled spread of such weapons in armed conflicts.
