#TEDIC's Pamela Peralta highlights that the "structural inequalities embedded into the design" of #AutonomousWeapons can amplify "harmful stereotypes, reinforcing the vulnerability of already marginalised groups."

3/ The UN can sometimes provoke skepticism or disillusionment. But what I saw this week were committed people with serious ideas working in good faith to make the world a safer, more secure place for everyone.

" #AutonomousWeapons systems would in addition create an accountability gap that will not only mean no one will be held responsible for a system’s unlawful action but will also eliminate an important tool for preventing harm."

Campaigners shaped talks on #KillerRobots' #Humanitarian and #legal concerns. Listen ⬇️
"Technologies that maim, immobilise, or in other ways undermine the exercise of basic human rights through the use of #AI powered systems should concern us deeply."
