Sudan's conflict and AI era responsibility

Sudan is facing a dangerous escalation in the use of military technologies supported by artificial intelligence, with increasing reliance on drones and autonomous reconnaissance systems. This could lead to a shift in warfare toward a stage where algorithms play a larger role in target identification and guidance, bringing significant legal and ethical risks. These developments have been accompanied by international accusations of employing weapons that surpass legal and ethical boundaries, along with ongoing external support from more than 12 countries, prolonging the conflict and posing greater threats to civilians. International initiatives emphasize the importance of keeping the decision to take lives fully under human control, warning that excessive reliance on artificial intelligence may result in deadly mistakes—particularly in densely populated areas. This underscores the urgent need for strict regulations to prevent uncontrolled proliferation of autonomous weapon technologies and to maintain human accountability in conflicts.
