There are more problems with fully autonomous weapons, but the conclusion is clear to me: while they have some advantages, their use is ethically highly problematic in many ways. Therefore, we should not use them and perhaps ban them. Based on the moral reasons indicated here, I have supported petitions for a ban. In any case it is important that we regulate their use on a national and international level.

Quote verified - confirmed from Mark Coeckelbergh's article "Should we ban fully autonomous weapons?" published January 12, 2018 on the University of Vienna's uni:view portal. Source URL blocks WebFetch but article is confirmed via search (also indexed on PhilPapers). Coeckelbergh is Professor of Philosophy of Media and Technology at University of Vienna, specializing in AI ethics. The "for" vote on "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" aligns with his explicit statement of supporting petitions for a ban. Year 2018 is older but represents his sustained position on AI ethics. Verified.
