states discuss whether and how to regulate Lethal Autonomous Weapon
Systems (LAWS). A Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) is meeting in
February and April 2018 to debate the framework of an international
regulation that makes sure, humans will always have meaningful
control over the use of force with regard to these systems. Here
civil society and some states including Germany have been playing
an active role since 2014. But not everyone can agree to regulate
future LAWS. Some states hope for military advantages through the
use of autonomous technology and AI in warfare. We want to discuss
with participants of the negotiations (state representatives),
observers (civil society) and experts the progress in the UN. The
following questions should be addressed: Is it ethical to kill
people with autonomous weapons? What is the right approach for a
regulation? How to convince sceptical states? What are implications
of the use of LAWS to international security?
