Campaigners warn AI weapons systems are already in use
Original: “… people should never be snuffed out by the mechanical application of # algorithms “ https:// portside.org/2026-10-02/a
Activists with the Stop Killer Robots campaign are warning that autonomous, algorithm-driven weapons systems are already being deployed in conflicts, arguing that human lives should never be decided by the mechanical application of algorithms. The campaign links the spread of AI weapons to data centres, the military-industrial complex, and ongoing conflicts such as Gaza, calling for human control over lethal decisions.
Why now: Growing public alarm over the use of AI in warfare and automated targeting is driving renewed attention to autonomous weapons.
