Stop Killer Robots

Escape's take on Stop Killer Robots

The clue is in the name with this one. Stop Killer Robots is a global campaign working to pre-emptively ban autonomous weapons. With growing digital dehumanisation, there is a significant risk that emerging technologies could lower the threshold for using lethal force and make it easier for states to wage wars without public consent. They believe that decisions on the use of violent force should always be made by humans, who can exercise moral judgement and be held accountable for their actions. A bold mission, and one that is needed more than ever in our increasingly automated world.
