The development of lethal autonomous weapons utilizing artificial intelligence poses an unprecedented threat to humanity. As algorithms and vast data enable machines to identify targets and make life-or-death decisions independently, with minimal human oversight, the world edges towards fully automated cyber warfare. What are the strategic, ethical, and technological dimensions of this AI weaponization? Can unrestrained arms races towards ever-more sophisticated killer robots be prevented before unintended consequences unfold? How could AI destabilize geopolitics or empower non-state actors? Should autonomous targeting systems be banned like chemical weapons before use expands?
