UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called on Monday in Geneva for an urgent ban on autonomous weapons and at the same time warned that advanced artificial intelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity. He reacted to reports of a Russian drone in Ukraine that was allegedly killing without direct human intervention. STVR (Minute by minute) ↗ ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
Türk told the UN Human Rights Council that binding security guarantees for the development and use of artificial intelligence need to be adopted. According to his warning, technologies capable of deciding on life and death without human control are changing warfare and broader security debate. In connection with the war in Ukraine, there were also claims about testing of similar systems in the field. SITA ↗ STVR (News) ↗
His speech follows a broader discussion at the UN about the regulation of autonomous weapons and AI risks. In recent days, other public calls for stricter rules have been added to these concerns, aimed at limiting the use of systems that can act without human intervention. Developments in Geneva thus suggest that pressure for international regulation of autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence will continue in the coming weeks.
