Verification History

AI Verified CACM URL is blocked from WebFetch, but search results directly confirmed Arkin's exact phrasing: "It may be possible to save noncombatant lives through the use of this technology—if done correctly—and these efforts should not be prematurely terminated by a preemptive ban." This was published in Communications of the ACM in December 2015. Vote alignment ("against" the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons") is correct - Arkin explicitly opposed a preemptive ban. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 16d ago
