9. Lead on regulating new weaponised technologies
The UK should seek to avert costly & destabilising arms races & get ahead of the risks inherent in such next gen military tech as cyber, AI, AWS, space-based, & bio weapons by promoting their effective, multilateral regulation.

Countries worldwide have shown real leadership in calling for new int'l law to regulate machines that can attack and kill without meaningful human control.
At #UNGA79, they have the action to go from words to action by supporting the resolution on #AutonomousWeapons.

People are #MoreThanData - that’s why states need to #StopKillerRobots and support the resolution on autonomous weapons that will take us toward int’l law at #UNGA79
