The US and Russia weakened a UN text on AI weapons
Rules on human review, reliability and ethics were cut, The Washington Post reports. Countries decide in November whether to start treaty talks.
UN talks in Geneva on lethal autonomous weapons ended on September 5 with a final report that was much weaker than earlier drafts. Human Rights Watch says states including the US and Russia cut references to ethics, predictability, and reliability. The Washington Post reported on September 26 how the changes were made behind closed doors.
