"It's dehumanising, it's unethical and the decision to take life should not be delegated to a machine. So we hope that states start to talk more about it...and advocate for a prohibition on #AutonomousWeapons systems that target human beings."

“In the pursuit of potential future efficiencies, the use of AI administrative tools by military agencies introduce real risks. This is a trade-off that their purported benefits cannot justify.”

.@SIPRI's report finds that "the presence of implicit assumptions around...sensitive characteristics in military #AI systems can result in misidentification of threats and nonthreats, flawed assessments of #humanitarian needs, and invasive surveillance and monitoring practices."
Military #AI systems are not immune to the biases that plague society. This SIPRI background paper calls for a common framework to understand and mitigate these biases in military AI, drawing lessons from civilian AI governance ➡️ doi.org/10.55163/CJFT9557
