US and Russia strip AI weapons safeguards from UN draft
Original: US & Russian diplomats:🚨removed provisions to safeguard use of # AI in # weapons : stripped lang requiring:🚨systems to o
US and Russian diplomats have reportedly removed key safeguard language from a United Nations draft on artificial intelligence in weapons systems. The deleted provisions would have required AI weapons to operate in a predictable and reliable manner, and included a clause mandating that ethical considerations be taken into account when deploying AI-powered weaponry. Critics say the move weakens international oversight of autonomous weapons just as militaries accelerate their adoption of the technology.
Why now: The reported removal of ethical and reliability safeguards has raised alarm among arms control advocates as UN negotiations on autonomous weapons continue.
