It is evident that the world must act urgently to alter the self-destructive path we are on. An escalating arms race in disruptive technologies like unregulated AI, autonomous weapons, nuclear arms and other dangerous weapons is driving this path. No machine, computer or algorithm can recognise a human as a human being, nor respect humans as inherent bearers of rights and dignity. Enabling machines to make life and death decisions is morally unjustifiable. The cost of our inaction will be greater the longer we wait. Unverified source (2026)
