“The issue is not just whether these weapons will be used, but how their precursor systems are already transforming the way wars are fought, minimizing the time needed to authorize a lethal attack...”

What does the path to an #AutonomousWeapons treaty look like in 2026?

#ICYMI read our latest Substack article to see how progress on #KillerRobots has developed across international forums – from New York to Geneva – and what it means for the new year.

We would also highly recommend this excellent paper by @ElkeSchwarz and @NC_Renic 'On the Pitfalls of Technophilic Reason: A Commentary on Kevin Jon Heller’s “The Concept of ‘the Human’ in the Critique of Autonomous Weapons”': https://t.co/1YmPXlyTGv #StanfordCISAC #AWS

"Most drones require a human pilot. But some new Ukrainian drones, once locked on a target, can use A.I. to chase and strike it — with no further human involvement." Essential reading for those who believe machines should not make life + death decisions.

2026 presents an opportunity for states to move toward a treaty on #AutonomousWeapons that we all need. With the growing gap between development and regulation in #AI and autonomy, which has already resulted in devastating humanitarian harm, we need legal safeguards now.

Machines shouldn’t make life or death decisions. It’s that simple.
We need a treaty to #StopKillerRobots now.

[Stop Killer Robots @BanKillerRobots]

2026 is set to be an exciting year for our work toward a treaty at the @UN. In our latest #Substack we explain what they key fora are for #AutonomousWeapons and how they can move us toward a treaty.
