Austria has emphasized the urgent need for international regulation of artificial intelligence in weapons systems, hosting a conference in Vienna to address the issue of 'killer robots.' The conference, part of the AWS2024Vienna event, seeks to revive discussions that have largely stalled on how to manage these emerging technologies. Governments have been warned that time is running out to effectively regulate these AI-driven systems, which are designed to operate autonomously in military applications. The conference included key speeches, with Jaan Tallinn delivering the opening address, highlighting the critical need for a coordinated global effort to establish legal frameworks around such technologies, including the controversial 'slaughterbots.'
Regulators who want to get a grip on an emerging generation of artificially intelligent killing machines may not have much time left to do so, governments were warned. https://t.co/r60Cnj8Rx2
As the #AWS2024 is underway in Vienna, I re-up my piece “ Laws on LAWS: Regulating Lethal Autonomous Weapons” https://t.co/baFz8iNznG https://t.co/KS8EK3CTyw
Keeping it legal to sell ever-more-powerful #slaughterbots globally is such a dumb idea that most nations are discussing a treaty in Vienna today. I love Jaan Tallinn's opening speech: #AWS2024Vienna https://t.co/vktoO7qtkC
We have passed legislation against generative AI but, on a global scale, there is still a lack of coordination. Until there is a globally-cooperated effort protecting our integrity & our IP, we can't claim to have control of the space. This was a key takeaway from last week's… https://t.co/CU9zD4lfpM
