Project Contributing to the Eradication of Lethal Weapons, Including the Promotion of Ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage
“Stop Killer Robots" is working to ensure human control in the use of force. Our campaign aims to establish international legal treaties that prohibit autonomous weapon systems that target humans or operate without meaningful human control, in other words, treaties that include rules to protect our humanity. We want to negate the automation of killing and promote a world where humans control new technologies that affect our lives and existence.
