Conflict pressures are pushing the world closer to autonomous weapons that can kill without human control. Researchers and the international community must join forces to prohibit them.

Soon, fully autonomous lethal weapon systems could become commonplace in conflict. Some are already on the market. Mercifully, few have actually been used in warfare, and none has been used in Ukraine, at the time of writing. Yet evolving events are a cause for concern. Although it is difficult to discuss banning weapons that might help the Ukrainian cause, it is now urgent that world governments do so and limit the use of AI in war. No one wants this bleak future of robotic threats.
Current AI systems exhibit all the required capabilities — planning missions, navigating, 3D mapping, recognizing targets, flying through cities and buildings, and coordinating attacks. Lots of platforms are available. These include: quadcopters ranging from centimetres to metres in size; fixed-wing aircraft ; self-driving trucks and tanks; autonomous speedboats, destroyers and submarines; and even skeletal humanoid robots.
