Head of Policy at Stop Killer Robots; autonomous weapons and disarmament expert
Any weapon or military tool that reduces a person to a data point for killing is unacceptable. States must outlaw machines making life or death decisions. [...] The use of unregulated military AI in Gaza and Ukraine clearly shows the dangers of these weapons and tools — and states' lack of movement toward legal red lines is gravely insufficient. Our political leaders must create laws to protect civilians from increasing automated harms on the battlefield. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The source URL (stopkillerrobots.org/news/reaim-2026/) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search of the page confirmed the quote verbatim, including "Any weapon or military tool that reduces a person to a data point for killing is unacceptable" and "The use of unregulated military AI in Gaza and Ukraine clearly shows the dangers of these weapons and tools — and states' lack of movement toward legal red lines is gravely insufficient." Author attribution is correct: Elizabeth Minor is Head of Policy at Stop Killer Robots, quoted in this Feb 2026 REAIM press release. Year (2026) is current and correct. Vote "for" the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" aligns with the quote's explicit call for states to outlaw machines making life-or-death decisions. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 4h ago
