Call to ban killer robots in wars
A group of scientists has called for a ban on the development of weapons controlled by artificial intelligence (AI).
It says that autonomous weapons may malfunction in unpredictable ways and kill innocent people.
Ethics experts also argue that it is a moral step too far for AI systems to kill without any human intervention.
The comments were made at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington DC.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) is one of the 89 non-governmental organisations from 50 countries that have formed the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, to press for an international treaty.
