<P><STRONG>Swarms of AI-powered drones that pick who to
kill</STRONG> are already invading the skies over Ukraine.
Unconscious, unaccountable... <STRONG>They're like flying landmines
that kill and maim with impunity. </STRONG></P>
<P>The usual suspects oppose new international law on autonomous
weapons systems (AWS), like they opposed banning landmines too. But
UN talks in New York are underway right now, with<STRONG> momentum
for a ban treaty building among states from all corners of the
globe</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Let's support the tireless work that human rights campaigners and
diplomats are doing on the ground, and counter the merchants of war.
When we get to 100,000 signatures, we'll deliver the petition in New
York.</P>

autonomous weapon systems.</A></P>
<P>AI warfare makes the world a far more dangerous place. For one,
replacing soldiers with AI-powered drones <STRONG>makes it easier
for governments to choose to go to war</STRONG>. It also encourages
governments and corporations to keep mining our personal data,
scanning all our photos, phone calls and social media… reducing us
to objects, stereotypes, and data points<STRONG> for killer robots
to some day “delete” at will</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Advocates say AWS can boost military precision and efficiency.
But military spending is through the roof, so any efficiency gains
(if you can believe them!) are just fueling more warfare, not peace
and human security. Their “military precision” claims hold no water
either – and if anything,<STRONG> AI only increases the risks
posed by nuclear weapons</STRONG>, by compress decision-making
timelines and increasing miscalculation risks.</P>
<P>Machines can’t make complex ethical choices, and can never be
held to account. People must.</P>

human control in the use of force and to prohibit machines that

<P>An amazing coalition of NGOs, academics and activists has been
pushing for a binding treaty for years. The UN General Assembly
First Committee on Disarmament and International Security began its
80th session on October 8, which will continue until November 7. The
Committee will take action on resolutions towards the end of its
session, so we have only days to influence them.</P>
<P><STRONG>Let’s show them we want a binding treaty </STRONG>– not
killer robots and endless wars.</P><!-- ak.wysiwyg=code --><IMG
