What Happened
Landmark UN Treaty Talks Compromised By Major World Powers
The US and Russia have weakened a global effort to regulate the use of lethal autonomous weapons, stripping safeguards from a landmark UN treaty. The negotiations, which took place earlier this month, marked the furthest progress yet toward a potential treaty governing the use of killer artificial intelligence arms. Despite the setback, the talks represent a significant step toward international cooperation on AI arms control. The development was reported by The Washington Post.
