Drive Time Show Podcast 02-10-2026: Autonomous Weapons and Non violent means of conflict resolution

Join our hosts for Fridays show from 4-6pm where we will discuss "Autonomous Weapons" and "Non violent means of conflict resolution" Autonomous Weapons: When Machines Decide Who Lives or Dies

When AI informs decisions about who lives and dies, what happens to human control? Meaningful human control requires genuine judgement, scrutiny and accountability — not a human rubber-stamping an algorithm. This November, states must launch negotiations on #AutonomousWeapons. lnkd.in/edfTNu4k

“130 governments around the world that support... [an autonomous weapons] treaty...we will be doing everything we can do encourage states to take what really is the next sensible step in this process, before we do end up in those doomsday scenarios.” —@verityc.bsky.social bradblog.com?p=19404

One year after Stop Killer Robots and Etica Funds launched our Investor Statement on autonomous weapons, we brought leading investors into the room at Geneva during the #CCW to discuss what unregulated autonomy in weapons means for the financial sector.

On Saturday, 5 September, around 3am, the #CCWUN GGE adopted by consensus the “elements of an instrument” on #AutonomousWeapons. Now they must make that instrument a reality. www.stopkillerrobots.org/news/nothing... /1

Today's decisions will shape the future young people inherit. Our #Youth Delegates were in Geneva this week for UN discussuons on #AutonomousWeapons. Here's what they had to say about their experience — and why young voices belong in these conversations. #StopKillerRobots #AutonomousWeapons #CCWUN

"Clear, binding rules would help ensure that increasingly #AutonomousWarfare does not make violence easier to unleash and harder to control." ❗A key message to states as the #CCWUN in Geneva concludes today. @elkeschwarz.bsky.social @jessicadorsey.bsky.social theconversation.com/autonomous-w...

Autonomous weapons can select targets without human help – now is the time for binding rules

Officials are meeting in Geneva to negotiate urgent controls on autonomous weapons.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Geneva side event on #AutonomousWeapons! 🤝🇺🇳 On Monday, we explored the humanitarian, human rights and children’s rights — concerns that must feature more in international discussions. These must be at the centre of a treaty to #StopKillerRobots

⚠️ Digital dehumanisation is not an abstract concern - it's happening right now in conflicts around the world. Handing targeting decisions to machines strips people of their humanity. Victims are reduced to data points, while survivors have no one to hold accountable.

“Our main concern is that this is happening before specific rules are in place to make sure there is always meaningful human control in the use of force and life and death decisions aren’t delegated to machines” – @elizabethminor.bsky.social euperspectives.eu/2026/06/the-...

The EU bans killer robot funding. But in Gaza and Ukraine, AI already selects targets. Global rules do not yet exist.
