The growing pressure of the legal screws in the ‘murderous robots’ that raise ravages with AI – eSHOP24X7
Every day, we voluntarily inform the machines about ourselves. This happens when we accept online cookies or use search engines.
We rarely think about how our data is sold and used, before clicking on “agree” on the page we want to go, we realize a little that will be used to attack ourselves as a consumer and accept some of these items to buy this service, which we did not need.
But what will happen if the machines are using data to decide who should be directed as enemies, who needs to be killed?
The United Nations and a group of non -governmental organizations are concerned that this thought or landscape is now close to becoming a reality. They demand that the international regulation of mortal autonomous weapons
The large -scale drone war continues in Ukraine
The Kharson region of Ukraine has been in the control of frequent attacks of armed drones operated by the Russian army for several days, which are mainly directed to not girls.
According to official sources, more than 150 common people have been killed and hundreds of people have been injured. An independent investigation of human rights designated by the United Nations has concluded that these attacks are crime against humanity.
The Ukrainian army also depends a lot on drones and is supposedly developing a “drone wall”, that is, a defensive line of armed aerial vehicles (UAV) unmanned to protect the weak sections of the country’s borders.
At one time, the richest countries had the highest and highest UAV capacity to buy. But now Ukraine has shown that with a little simplicity, low -cost drones can be modified for fatal purposes. While reflecting this change in conflicts and wars around the world, the song of modern war is being written again.
Increased ‘digital inhumanization’
However, this modern form of war can be so disastrous, the growing threat of non -manned drones or other autonomous weapons, increasing the growing concerns about the “murderous robot”, which are raining the death of heaven, they themselves are deciding who they have to attack.
“The general secretary has always said that the use of machines with the power of United Nations disarmament affiliation, Izomi Nakamitsu, says, is morally unpleasant deciding to end human life with a completely assigned power.”
“It should not afford. In fact, it must be prohibited by international law. This is the situation of the United Nations.”
An international non -international human rights organization – Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said that the use of autonomous weapons will be the last and most serious example of “digital inhumanization.” Under this, in cases such as the Artificial Intelligence Police (AI), the application of the law and the limit control that affect humans, make many important and serious decisions that change their lives.
Mary Wareham, defending director of the Department of Weapons of Human Rights Watch, says: “Many countries with large resources are investing in artificial intelligence and related techniques to develop autonomous weapons systems based on Earth and the sea, to develop autonomous weapons systems based on Earth and the Sea. This is a fact.”
“The United States is at the forefront of this, but other important countries such as Russia, China, Israel and South Korea are also investing heavy in autonomous weapons systems.”
His selfish arguments
In favor of the operated war, it often points to human limits to justify its expansion. Soldiers can make mistakes in decision making, they can work in emotions, they require rest and, of course, demand salary. They argue that while machines, behavior and speed or human beings are improving every day to identify hazards based on ways of walking.
Some followers suggest that in the next phase, allowing autonomous systems to decide will be observed when to press the trigger.
There are two main objections when taking machines under control on the battlefield: first, the technique is not completely safe. Second, the United Nations and many other organizations consider the use of immoral laws.
Mary Wareham of Human Rights Watch says: “It is very easy for machines to understand the human objective. People with disabilities are particularly at risk because the way they move, they have problems. Their wheelchairs can be considered as weapons. He is also concerned that facial identification techniques and other biometric measurements cannot correct people with different skin colors.
“AI is still defective, and also contains prejudice of people who have manufactured those systems.”
With regard to moral objections, Nicole Van Ruizen, executive director of Stop Killer Robots, who campaigned for a new international law on autonomy in weapons systems, says he will make the responsibility of war crimes and other atrocities difficult.
He says: “Who is responsible? Is it a manufacturer? Or the person who has scheduled the algorithm? This situation results in many problems and concerns, and if used widely, it will be a moral failure.”
Restrictions until 2026?
The speed at which technology is moving forward, and already on the battlefield, the competent guidance system is being used, this test, to regulate technology, is also gaining impulse to make international rules as soon as possible.
In May, there were informal discussions at the United Nations headquarters, in which the Secretary General Antonio Guteres asked member countries to agree a binding legal agreement to regulate and restore the use of autonomous weapons systems, by 2026.
The efforts to regulate and prohibit laws are not new. In fact, the United Nations celebrated the first diplomat meeting in Geneva in 2014 in 2014, which was described as “an emerging challenging problem in the disarmament agenda.”
However, no autonomous weapons system was being used in wars and conflicts at that time.
Now, even after 11 years, conversations are happening, but there is still no consensus on the definition of autonomous weapons, if they agree on their use, that is, leave the issue of legal control.
However, non -governmental organizations and the United Nations are optimistic that international communities are slowly moving towards common understanding on the main issues.
