Emerging tech and artificial intelligence
From smart homes and targeted advertising to the use of robot dogs by police enforcement, artificial intelligence technologies and automated decision-making are now playing a significant role in our lives.
Less autonomy. More humanity.
Technology should be used to empower all people, not to reduce us.
Stop Killer Robots calls for new international law on autonomy in weapons systems to ensure human control in the use of force.
Why we existStop Killer Robots
Technology should be used to empower all people, not to reduce us – to stereotypes, labels, objects, or just a pattern of 1’s and 0’s. With growing digital dehumanisation, the Stop Killer Robots coalition works to ensure human control in the use of force. Our campaign calls for new international law on autonomy in weapons systems.
Formed in October 2012 and publicly launched in 2013, we operate globally with 300+ member organisations. A united voice with national, regional and international affect. We are a vibrant, inclusive team driving change to protect our shared humanity for the future.
Problems with autonomous weapons
Autonomy in weapons systems is a profoundly human problem. Killer robots change the relationship between people and technology by handing over life and death decision-making to machines.
Digital dehumanisation
Digital dehumanisation is a process where humans are reduced to data, which is then used to make decisions and/or take actions that negatively affects their lives.
