Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified The quote is authentic. In the Carnegie Council transcript for “Killer Robots, Ethics, & Governance, with Peter Asaro,” Peter Asaro says this exact sentence in his own remarks: “We have been working for the past seven years now trying to get an international treaty to prohibit fully autonomous weapons systems of this nature.” It appears in the transcript at line 61, so it is verbatim and correctly attributed to Asaro.

AI Verified Quote text confirmed via web search (Carnegie Council blocks WebFetch with 403). Peter Asaro's statement "We have been working for the past seven years now trying to get an international treaty to prohibit fully autonomous weapons systems of this nature" is corroborated by the Carnegie Council podcast "Killer Robots, Ethics, & Governance, with Peter Asaro" from February 11, 2020. Vote "for" aligns perfectly with the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" — Asaro is co-founder of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control (ICRAC) and a leader of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, advocating to ban these weapons. Year 2020 reflects the canonical primary source. Source URL is the primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
