🔻 The United Nations meeting on automatic weapons; The Iran war is one of the examples discussed by experts.
A meeting is scheduled to take place Monday at United Nations headquarters in Geneva to examine possible restrictions and bans on the use of lethal automatic weapons equipped with artificial intelligence; Weapons some call "killer robots".
According to the AFP news agency, this meeting will take place as experts, referring to the use of artificial intelligence in identifying military targets in America's war and hostages against Iran this year, warn against reducing the human role in war decisions.
These weapons can identify and select their targets and attack them on the ground without direct human intervention. Experts warn that the rapid development of this technology has outstripped efforts to develop international regulations. Jean-Marc Rikli, one of the experts of the Geneva Center for Security Policy, referring to this year's war between the United States and Israel's captives against Iran, said that the American forces used to attack up to a thousand targets in Iran every day.
According to him, the use of artificial intelligence to identify military targets is one of the areas that the negotiations in Geneva do not deal with enough.
Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, and Miriana Spoliaric, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross, have warned in the past that the world is dangerously close to crossing a "moral red line," meaning directing humans to machines without human decision-making.
