He: Called against assassin robots

Movement activists in the UK are calling on authorities to strictly ban machines that can automatically attack targets without any human intervention .

Jody Williams, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for his efforts to ban the use of parachute mines, is now a member of the "Movement to Prevent Killer Robots" statement, the birth of the Universe. Such gas (which is presumed to be within the next 20 years) will violate a moral and moral limit.

"If war uses both offensive weapons without human control, it is the civilians who will suffer the main losses of the battle," Ms Williams said.

Currently some of the British armed forces have used automatic weapons such as remote control unmanned aircraft. Companies are also embarking on the development of systems with increasing levels of automatic operation.

However, the advanced technologies available are far from being able to distinguish between a soldier and a civilian. Therefore, critics strongly oppose the development of "automatic killer robots" for fear of the possibility of mistakenly killing.

The British government has always stated that it has no intention of developing automatic weapons weapons technology. In an interview with the press, a British Ministry of Defense spokesman once stated: "We do not have any plans to replace the skilled military personnel with fully automated systems. Wear. Although the Royal Navy forces are deploying defensive systems, such as Phalanx, are capable of being used in an automatic state to protect soldiers and ships from threats from enemies such as missiles. but they still need a technician to monitor the whole process. "

The commitment of the British authorities does not make the members of the "Movement to prevent killer robots " secure. They expressed concern that the rapid growth in technology has allowed countries such as the US, Russia, China, Israel and Germany to move closer to automatic weapons systems.
