When AI informs decisions about who lives and dies, what happens to human control? Meaningful human control requires genuine judgement, scrutiny and accountability — not a human rubber-stamping an algorithm. This November, states must launch negotiations on #AutonomousWeapons. lnkd.in/edfTNu4k

We discussed investor red lines, dual-use technologies, due diligence — and why a strong international treaty is the missing piece. A clear, enforceable global rulebook would give investors the standards they need to manage risk and avoid complicity in unlawful harm.

One year after Stop Killer Robots and Etica Funds launched our Investor Statement on autonomous weapons, we brought leading investors into the room at Geneva during the #CCW to discuss what unregulated autonomy in weapons means for the financial sector.

⚠️ Digital dehumanisation is not an abstract concern - it's happening right now in conflicts around the world. Handing targeting decisions to machines strips people of their humanity. Victims are reduced to data points, while survivors have no one to hold accountable.

As states discussed changes to a text that could form the basis of an #AutonomousWeapons treaty, the use of AI targeting in Iran demonstrated that meaningful human control over the use of force is already being weakened to devastating humanitarian effect. www.stopkillerrobots.org/news/reports...

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.
