Autonomous weapons explained_

Autonomous weapons replace humans in the decision to use force. They are fundamentally dehumanising and their development will have profound consequences for all of humanity.

01. How do we maintain human control? 

02. Can we accept machines deciding to kill people?

Watch our explainer below to explore the problems, and the solution, to autonomy in weapons systems.
