Artificial intelligence and automated decisions: shared challenges in the civil and military spheres
This paper provides an initial sketch of responses to AI and automated decision-making in wider society, while contextualising these responses in relation to autonomy in weapons systems.
About Automated Decision Research
Automated Decision Research is the monitoring and research team of Stop Killer Robots – tracking state support for a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems and conducting research and analysis on responses to autonomy and automated decision-making in warfare and wider society. Autonomous weapons systems have been actively debated at the United Nations since 2013, and states increasingly agree that new international law is needed.
State positions
Our state positions monitor contains individual country profiles with short summaries of each state’s position on negotiating a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems, and on each state’s engagement on autonomous weapons systems within relevant international fora.
