<\/strong>In light of the tragedy that is armed conflict, it is urgent to reconsider the development and use of devices like the so-called \u201clethal autonomous weapons\u201d and ultimately ban their use. This starts from an effective and concrete commitment to introduce ever greater and proper human control. No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people\u2019s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines. We need to ensure and safeguard a space for proper human control over the choices made by artificial intelligence programs: human dignity itself depends on it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
