US and Russia strip human oversight from UN autonomous weapons draft

The United States and Russia have removed provisions from a draft UN set of rules on autonomous weapons that would have required AI systems to operate predictably and reliably, and mandated that humans verify AI-identified targets before strikes are carried out. The change raises concerns that lethal decisions could increasingly be delegated to machines without meaningful human control, drawing criticism from arms-control advocates watching the UN negotiations.
Why now: Ongoing UN negotiations on lethal autonomous weapons make any US-Russian move to weaken human-control requirements highly controversial
