UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warned that artificial intelligence could in the future become so powerful that it becomes an existential threat to humanity. He therefore called for the adoption of binding safety safeguards and effective regulation. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
Türk also expressed concern over reports of the use of an autonomous Russian drone in Ukraine, which reportedly killed people in an attack without direct human intervention. He stated that the United Nations is horrified by such developments. ORF ↗
The Commissioner called for an urgent ban on autonomous weapons capable of independently deciding to kill a human being. According to him, these are technologies in which artificial intelligence takes over decision-making with serious consequences for human rights and international humanitarian law. SITA ↗
Before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, he also stated that Ukraine had reportedly tested such weapons in the field. His remarks concerned the broader need for international rules for systems capable of locating and attacking a target without human approval. SITA ↗
Türk also expressed support for an urgent ban on weapons capable of killing without human intervention. Further developments will depend on the willingness of states to agree on binding rules for autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence safety.
