Comment by Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Now companies are already working on drones that can shoot down other drones. And it’s only a matter of time – and not much – before drones are fighting drones, attacking critical infrastructure, and targeting people – all by themselves, fully autonomous, and no human involved – except the few who control AI systems. We are now living through the most destructive arms race in human history – because this time, it includes artificial intelligence. And if there are no real security guarantees – except friends and weapons, and if the world can’t respond even to old threats, and if there’s no strong platform for international security – will there be any place left on Earth that’s still safe for people? We need global rules – now! – for how AI can be used in weapons. This is just as urgent as preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
