Rapid technological advances raise fundamental legal, moral and security questions. No more so than lethal autonomous weapons systems. This is not science fiction. It is fast becoming a reality – a reality that the Secretary-General of the UN has rightly called both “politically unacceptable and morally repugnant”. We cannot allow an algorithm to decide who lives and who dies. We must ensure that weapons systems without meaningful human control are banned under international law. Unverified source (2021)
