"AI-enabled decision-support systems reduce the separation between recommending and executing a strike to a 'dangerously thin' line and risk introducing automation bias, when humans overly trust outputs produced by machines."

βAI gets it wrong...We need humans to check the output of generative AI when the stakes are life and death.β
The U.S. military is using advanced generative AI to create target lists. Machines should decide who lies and who dies. #StopKillerRobots

"[Autonomous weapons] are, among other things, moral distance machines. They allow states to industrialize killing while diffusing responsibility...until no individual person feels or can be made to feel that they bear meaningful accountability for a specific death."

States have the opportunity to make this a reality by negotiating a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons. We stand willing and ready to support them β this issue is too important for inaction.

Many thanks to all who attended our #UN side event today.
As we near the #CCW Review Conference later this year, it is important to reflect on the 10+ years work of the #UNCCW on #AutonomousWeapons. This forum is crucial need for autonomous weapons regulation becomes increasingly urgent.
π¨ SIDE EVENT + PUBLICATION LAUNCH: join us for today's side event on the progress of the #GGE on LAWS after a decade of work on #AutonomousWeapons and ahead of the November #CCWUN Review Conference later this year where the group's mandate will be reviewed.
We're back in the room for the afternoon session of the #CCWUN meeting on #AutonomousWeapons. Over these first two days of the meeting, we've made a number of statements

β¬οΈ Full statements
The current context that the current United Nations meeting on #AutonomousWeapons are taking place in demonstrate that it's time for governments to show leadership and negotiate a treaty to stop the automation of killing. Here's what happened on Day 1 of #CCWUN meeting on #KillerRobots

#StopKillerRobots #AutonomousWeapons
As states discuss #AutonomousWeapons at the #UN this week, this is what's happening outside the Geneva meeting room:
π Increasing reports of weapons with autonomous features being used
π Military AI tools linked to serious civilian harm
π Pressure on industry to adopt more lax ethical standards
π Our new regional briefings explain the region-specific concerns for #AutonomousWeapons and what states in particular parts of the world have done to work toward a treaty to #StopKillerRobots
π www.stopkillerrobots.org/skr-research...
Governments need to launch treaty negotiations to #StopKillerRobots now.
This week weβre at the UN Geneva for killer robots discussions to remind states whatβs at stake.
This action is too important for inaction.

π§π· In December, campaigners took action at Christ the Redeemer in Rio to deliver a simple message:
βMachines should not decide who lives and who dies.β
Public actions like this keep human dignity at the centre of the debate on #AutonomousWeapons. #StopKillerRobots
"The #Pentagon's hardball with #Anthropic sets the tone for its negotiations with OpenAI, Google and xAI, all of which have agreed to remove their #safeguards for use in the military's unclassified systems, but are not yet used for more sensitive classified work."

"New international laws on autonomous weapon systems are definitely feasible, we just have to take the next step now." β Stop Killer Robots, speaking to @heise.de #REAIM

Thank you to the #StopKillerRobots campaigners who made up our #REAIM delegation last week.π
Campaigners called for new laws to protect against growing automated harms on the battlefield β both from #AutonomousWeapons and the military AI discussed at REAIM.

REAIM 2026 came to a close yesterday. While we saw commitments to principles like meaningful human control and #HumanRights in military AI, we still need to international action toward the negotiation of legal rules, both for #AutonomousWeapons as well as other aspects of #MilitaryAI.
"Starting negotiations on a treaty on #AutonomousWeapons ...is a move that can be taken now and I think the international community is in a position to get this done." β @elizabethminor.bsky.social, Head of Policy at Stop Killer Robots

As states move toward new international law on #AutonomousWeapons, the military AI weapons discussed at #REAIM must be under the same legal scrutiny.
States must take stock of the harmful trajectory of military AI and ensure that more #AutomatedHarm doesn't come to pass on the battlefield.
