128 nations back robot regulation plan
128 countries have reached a non-binding agreement in Geneva regarding the establishment of international rules to regulate the use of autonomous weapons, known as "killer robots," which choose and attack targets automatically without human intervention. The agreement aims to reduce the harm these weapons can cause to civilians, despite opposition from the United States and Russia, which preferred to adopt national guidelines rather than binding rules. This development comes amidst increasing international concern over their use in conflict zones such as Ukraine, Sudan, and the Middle East. Observers believe that, although the document is non-binding, it paves the way for future negotiations on international treaties to regulate the manufacturing and use of these weapons.
