GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday ratcheted up a joint call for countries to adopt bans and restrictions on the use of autonomous weapons systems — often known as “killer robots” — warning that “the risks have intensified.”
Building on an initial appeal three years ago and international talks on the issue for years, the appeal stops short of calling for a blanket ban, but notes that such weapons systems are being developed — though the UN and Red Cross haven’t confirmed their use on the battlefield.
