Nations discuss restrictions on lethal autonomous weapons
Published on March 5, 2024
Experts from nations across the globe are discussing how to restrict the use of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems, or LAWS, at a conference in Switzerland.
The meeting began in Geneva on Monday, amid growing concerns over what are often described as the "inhumane" technologies. Such artificial intelligence-driven systems are largely defined as being able to select and attack targets autonomously, without intervention by a human operator.
