Robots Could Decide Who to Kill Without Human Control – HRW Tells Sputnik
A new form of self-autonomous weaponry will now be able to identify targets and have the capability to shoot without any human intervention.
This technology is known as “killer robots,” which appear in many forms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV).
These robots will need no human control and they can fire at targets at will.
In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, Bonnie Docherty from Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the development of this technology is closer then we think.
As a result the HRW is working in Geneva to ban these robots to stop any negative impact they could have on humanity.
Docherty and her colleagues are working on the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) and believes that if they make an addition to the existing treaty then killer robots could potentially be banned, which HRW believes this is feasible and necessary.
