Always good to hear things like autonomous weapons being unable reliably to distinguish between soldiers and civilians (!) #ORGcon
A single-pixel change in a 3D-printed turtle was enough to make the sensor recognise it as a rifle (!!) #ORGcon
Making good headway at the UN to get a treaty banning military use of these autonomous systems. That wouldn't prevent police use #ORGcon
