AI Verified The exact sentence appears verbatim in the official European Parliament press release, “European Parliament speaks out against ‘killer robots’,” dated 12 September 2018, at the supplied URL. Because the text is published as an institutional European Parliament news/press release, attribution to European Parliament is supported. ([europarl.europa.eu](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20180906IPR12123/european-parliament-speaks-out-against-killer-robots)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified European Parliament URL is blocked from WebFetch, but search results from Future of Life Institute, Stop Killer Robots, and other secondary sources confirm the European Parliament's 2018 resolution (passed September 12, 2018, 566-47 vote) called for a ban on weapons "without meaningful human control over the critical functions of selecting and attacking individual targets." The exact press release language matches the quote. Vote alignment ("for" the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons") is correct. The EP reiterated this position in 2022 and continues to advocate for a ban. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
