🚨 ⚖️ 42 states at the #UN say they’re ready to negotiate a treaty to #StopKillerRobots. The Chair’s rolling text is ready for negotiations. The stakes? Human lives. 👉 Read our recap of the meeting: www.stopkillerrobots.org/news/septemb... #CCWUN #AutonomousWeapons

In its recent meeting, the Group of Governmental Experts on autonomous weapons discussed elements for a possible treaty, but states need to now advance to negotiations to safeguard humanity. Learn more in our latest report! 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum... @stopkillerrobots.bsky.social

🚨🚨“We are therefore ready to move ahead towards negotiations.” #CCWUN closes with a joint statement from 42 states affirming that the Chair’s rolling text discussed this week can form the basis of treaty negotiations on #KillerRobots.

Today is the last day of the #UN meetings on #AutonomousWeapons in Geneva. Throughout the week campaigners have reminded diplomats that they need to close the gap between innovation and regulation and create legal safeguards to #StopKillerRobots Tune in: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1l...

In this room diplomats are debating whether machines will be allowed to make life or death on the battlefield. We need courage and leadership to draw red lines against killer robots. #CCWUN #AutonomousWeapons See what’s #HappeningNow: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1s...

“Fundamentally, the issue is one of ethics” A key element missing from the text being discussed at #CCWUN is a prohibition on anti-personnel #AutonomousWeapons. Peter Asaro explains why it’s crucial for states to push for explicit language to prohibit systems that target people. #StopKillerRobots

Accountability and responsibility for the use and the impacts of #AutonomousWeapons lie with humans NOT machines. Meaningful human control is crucial. Ishmael Bhila from Virtual Planet Africa takes the floor on behalf of #StopKillerRobots at this morning's #CCWUN session at #UNGeneva.

As diplomats gather at @ungeneva.bsky.social, #AI kills on today’s battlefields - from Gaza to Ukraine. Words aren’t enough. We need a legally binding treaty to #StopKillerRobots. Watch the #CCWUN meeting live: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k13... #StopKillerRobots

"The reproduction of biases that will cause disproportionate harm to already marginalised people is not something that we should merely seek to mitigate: it is abhorrent and fundamentally unacceptable." #KillerRobots #CCWUN

"[Human] control as a principle in international law is crucial for drawing red lines to protect our humanity, and for establishing clearly what we find fundamentally ethically unacceptable as an int'l community." – @rboer.bsky.social delivers #StopKillerRobots statement at #CCWUN @paxvoorvrede.nl

After more than a decade of diplomatic talks, the Chair’s text shows that states are ready to negotiate a treaty. States have insisted time and again that the CCW is the place to do this. The time has come for them to demonstrate that they can deliver in 2025. #CCWUN

“Preserving meaningful human control over the use of force is one of the core purposes of a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems.” – Jimena Sofía Viveros Álvarez delivers the #StopKillerRobots statement this morning at #CCWUN

The future of war is being debated now. Will states choose humanity, or hand life-and-death decisions to algorithms? We’re at the #UN in Geneva to urge them to stay on #TeamHuman and #StopKillerRobots. 🔗 Watch the #CCWUN conversation: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1z...

AI is shaping our future—but not in the same ways. Without equity, AI will deepen global inequalities. The #GlobalSouth must have sovereignty over its data, its labour, and its participation in AI’s future. Read more via @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #StopKillerRobots

@elkeschwarz.bsky.social warns that venture capital is reshaping defence with a Silicon-Valley ethos that needs startups to scale up fast, but this move fast and break things model poses ‘strong ethical concerns’ where tech mediates ‘life and death decisions.’ www.qmul.ac.uk/mei/policy-h...

#AI can’t feel empathy. It can’t understand regret. Placing machines in charge of life & death decisions dehumanizes war and erodes accountability. #StopKillerRobots 📖 Read our latest #YouthNetwork blog from Millicent Waithira medium.com/@stopkillerr... #DigitalDehumanization #AutonomousWeapons

📢 We’ve launched a #Substack! Here’s why it matters… 🧵 stopkillerrobots.substack.com

War is never neutral. Neither is AI. Autonomous weapons risk automating gender inequality — putting women, queer, & marginalized people at greater danger in conflict. We need meaningful human control + a gender lens in regulation now. 🔗 medium.com/@stopkillerr... #StopKillerRobots

#AutonomousWeapons are rapidly approaching operational use. These systems select & engage targets without human intervention — risking accountability, proportionality & civilian protection. The question is no longer if they should be governed, but how. 🔗 trendsresearch.org/insight/gove...
