The rapid technological advancement of LAWS presents significant challenges to international law. Those challenges include the further dehumanization of war and the inability to hold any individual responsible for a misguided killer-robot attack or some other autonomous weapon. Countries that invest in and are eager to use LAWS technology should be bound by the legal requirements.
Autonomous weapons systems that require human assistance to operate are much less controversial than autonomous killer robots that can function independently. Use of the latter should be limited to specific, clearly defined tasks and be programmed to comply with international rules.
