Former Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth argues in a Guardian opinion piece that autonomous AI weapons systems are already in use, pointing to their role in conflicts involving Israel and the wider Middle East. He contends that algorithms must never be allowed to make decisions about who lives and dies in war, urging tighter limits on lethal autonomous weaponry.
Why now: Ongoing Middle East conflict has renewed debate over the use of AI-driven weapons systems.
