Po sieci krąży niepotwierdzona opowieść o autonomicznym programie, który w symulacji USAF samorzutnie atakował operatorów wetujących jego decyzje o zaatakowaniu danych obiektów:

Zakładając że opowieść jest prawdziwa, w tej nitce opiszę szczegóły i postaram się odpowiedzieć na pytanie co sytuacja mówi nam, a czego nie mówi, o możliwości etycznego i efektywnego użycia dronów autonomicznych. 2/19
Skąd się na tym znam? Napisałem o tym doktorat i kilka artykułów naukowych, można je znaleźć tu: philpeople.org/profiles/macie…

Disappointment in The Hague as states fail to reach consensus on the final report & political declaration of the Chemical Weapons Convention’s milestone 5th Review Conference. Image
Consensus agreement was not possible “due to the limited time available & context of current global affairs.” The Chemical Weapons Convention #RevCon5 will formally conclude on Friday afternoon.
Lack of formal agreement at the Chemical Weapons Convention Review Conference shows current fragile state of multilateral disarmament diplomacy & pitfalls of consensus decision-making which a handful of countries—sometimes just 1 military power—exploit Image

Governments should protect the integrity of the international treaty banning #ChemicalWeapons by fully implementing it & by ensuring accountability for any violations - @hrw on the Review Conference, which opens in the Hague today hrw.org/news/2023/05/1… #CWCRevcon

@hrw @henkvdKwast @minbuza @balkeesjarrah @loucharbon @OPCW @OPCW_ST @UN_Disarmament @INakamitsu @cwccoalition The #ChemicalWeapons Convention is the world’s most universally accepted humanitarian disarmament treaty. At least 140 of the 193 countries that have ratified it will attend the milestone 5th Review Conference in the Hague this week #CWCRevcon #RevCon5
I'm attending the 5th Review Conference of the #ChemicalWeapons Convention this week. It's @hrw's first participation in a CWC meeting after years of being denied entry. Yet inexplicably other civil society groups are still blocked hrw.org/news/2023/05/1… #CWCRevCon #RevCon5 Image

The world needs a treaty on #KillerRobots - autonomous weapons systems that could, by themselves, target & attack human beings.

Unfortunately, current talks have been going nowhere.

Going nowhere since 2014, in fact.

Meanwhile, arms developers have been working away…
Since 2014, discussions within the Convention on Conventional Weapons have proved useless, mainly because it relies on a consensus approach to decision-making, which means a single country can reject any proposal, even if everyone else agrees.
To achieve a new treaty to #StopKillerRobots, governments need to take a new tack.

They should initiate negotiations of a new treaty, either outside the UN, like the landmine or cluster munitions treaties, or in the UN General Assembly, like the nuclear weapons ban treaty.

Unlike before the pandemic, I’m now following this week’s #CCWUN diplomatic meeting on #KillerRobots from a great distance: hrw.org/news/2021/08/0… Being in #Aotearoa #NewZealand provides a refreshing new perspective. #AWSDialogueNZ @hrw
@hrw @UNGeneva @ousmannoor @BanKillerRobots @UN_Disarmament Military investments into lethal autonomous weapons systems are taking us down a dangerous path for global peace & security. Machines have no moral agency, empathy or responsibility - @NoelSharkey @icracnet #AWSDialogueNZ #KillerRobots #CCWUN
Fundamental challenges raised by removing human control from the use of force are only rising the longer it takes to regulate. As retired Maj. Gen. Mike Smith notes accountability cannot be transferred to machines. #AWSDialogueNZ #KillerRobots #CCWUN

Last month I wrote about the Turkish-manufactured loitering munition used in #Libya hrw.org/news/2021/05/1… Regarded as only real form of “offensive” autonomous weapon deployed today. Highlights urgent need for regulation now.
Little is know about this autonomous weapon system + even less about the circumstances of its use in #Libya. I wrote to its manufacturer #Turkey in 2019 but never received a response: stopkillerrobots.org/wp-content/upl…
#Turkey has barely contributed to the diplomatic talks on concerns over removing human control from the use of force. But that doesn't give it the green light to develop autonomous weapons systems. Recent media interest should provide much-needed scrutiny. #KillerRobots

The German Army (Amt für Heeresentwicklung, to be exact) has surprised many and published a position paper on #AI for land-based forces. Will translate bits and comment.
Alright, let's do this!
The paper is available here 👇
It was published only some ten days ago, but was finished in August/September.
#AI #KI #Bundeswehr (1/)

The first thing to note is that with regard to process, this paper is a bit weird: Germany has a national #AI strategy (which mentions military AI in *one sentence*) but no military #AI strategy for the whole of the Bundeswehr. However, now there is this paper for the Army.

I started reading France's new military #AI strategy yesterday. The thread is here:
As this thread was getting a bit too long, I am starting a new one on the recommendations part. [1]
We are now in the "Feuille de route" bit. Which starts with ethics. [2]
The strategy affirms #France's position in the lethal autonomous weapons debate (#killerrobots): "France does not intend to develop fully autonomous systems that totally escape human control." [3]
