Stop Killer Robots

Artificial Intelligence: Struggle for Rules for AI Use in War In Spain, experts met for the third time to discuss "Responsible AI in the Military Domain". Binding rules are still a pipe dream.

"New international laws on autonomous weapon systems are definitely feasible, we just have to take the next step now." – Stop Killer Robots, speaking to @heise.de #REAIM

Thank you to the #StopKillerRobots campaigners who made up our #REAIM delegation last week.👏

Campaigners called for new laws to protect against growing automated harms on the battlefield – both from #AutonomousWeapons and the military AI discussed at REAIM.

REAIM 2026 came to a close yesterday. While we saw commitments to principles like meaningful human control and #HumanRights in military AI, we still need to international action toward the negotiation of legal rules, both for #AutonomousWeapons as well as other aspects of #MilitaryAI.

"Starting negotiations on a treaty on #AutonomousWeapons ...is a move that can be taken now and I think the international community is in a position to get this done." – @elizabethminor.bsky.social, Head of Policy at Stop Killer Robots

As states move toward new international law on #AutonomousWeapons, the military AI weapons discussed at #REAIM must be under the same legal scrutiny.

States must take stock of the harmful trajectory of military AI and ensure that more #AutomatedHarm doesn't come to pass on the battlefield.

This week, we’ll be at #REAIM (𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝘼𝙄 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩).

We already see the harms of unregulated military #AI . States must ensure strict laws – like a treaty on #KillerRobots – govern the use and development of any weapon or tool that risks automated harm.

#StopKillerRobots

12 countries say no to banning #AutonomousWeapons ❌

Is yours one of them?

The Doomsday Clock ticks closer to catastrophe, but we can turn it back The harmful trajectory of AI and automation is not inevitable. There is another path.

The #DoomsdayClock is now set at 85 seconds to midnight. Disruptive tech like #AutonomousWeapons and military #AI are one of the key reasons why the clock is the closest it has ever been to catastrophe.

We can turn the clock back.

“I’ve seen how emerging technologies often increase risks and inequalities — especially for those already marginalized.” – Edwick Madzimure, a #StopKillerRobots campaigner and @wilpf.bsky.social Zimbabwe’s Executive Director
#AutonomousWeapons

In this period of geopolitical change, major advances in AI and automation, creating rules to protect people from digital dehumanisation and automated harm is urgent now, more than ever.

There is public support for legal safeguards that protect people from the horrors of war – like the treaty on #AutonomousWeapons we’ve been advocating for since 2013.

The report shows that support for international law is still strong despite current geopolitical uncertainty. It also shows that there is public support for strengthening rules and norms.

These are some of the findings in #LexInternational ’s recent 2025 International Law index which surveyed over 8,000 people across S.Africa, U.S., Brazil, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Egypt on contemporary support for international law.

Read it here:

Additionally, over 70% of people around the world support their government in doing more to ensure that all states comply with international law.

Over 7 in 10 people globally wouldn’t support their country using AI-enabled lethal autonomy – even if their governments said that it was in their national security.

“2026 is a crucial year for this issue” #AutonomousWeapons

120+ states, the #UnitedNations Secretary General and the President of the @icrc.org all agree – we need legal safeguards.

Our Policy Manager, Elizabeth Minor explains what to look out for on #AutonomousWeapons in the year ahead.
