World military powers both large and small are pursuing artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled and autonomous weapon systems. Such systems have the potential to help commanders make faster, better, and more relevant decisions. They will enable weapon systems to be capable of levels of performance, speed, and discrimination that exceed human capabilities. The increasing use of AI technologies in weapon systems has generated important questions regarding whether such systems are lawful, safe, and ethical. The Commission does not support a global prohibition of AI-enabled and autonomous weapon systems. (2021) source Unverified
