"Looking seriously at #AI bias especially as it pertains to #AutonomousWeapons is really important to not only ensure fairness in our technology but also to prevent technology being used as another tool to oppress people and to exacerbate social inequalities." - @HayleyRJones

At the #nptprepcom, amid rising tensions and fragile consensus, the stakes could not be higher. But even in this urgent moment, we hold fast to the quiet strength of ordinary people. As SGI, we are rooted in the dignity of life and carried by a hope that refuses to yield. Because peace begins with us—and it begins through dialogue. #nuclear #disarmament #hibakusha #peace #youth4disarmament #civilsociety

▶️At the 2025 #NPTPrepCom, SGI (@SGI_OUNA) called for #NoFirstUse & stronger dialogue between states. With rising nuclear risks & slow progress, reinforcing the nuclear taboo isn’t idealism—it’s imperative for survival. Civil society must keep humanity at the center. #disarmament #dialogue
