The UN’s top human rights official is sounding the alarm over killer robots—fully autonomous drones—being deployed in Ukraine, after reports that Russia used them to kill three civilians. These AI-guided weapons can select and strike targets without human input, raising urgent ethical concerns. Ukraine has also reportedly tested similar systems, with one drone in Zaporizhzhia allegedly choosing propane tanks as its target, causing civilian casualties. While 128 countries have agreed on a definition for these weapons, accusations persist that the U.S. and Russia diluted the agreement. A critical decision looms in November: whether to launch formal treaty negotiations to regulate these lethal machines before they become uncontrollable, ensuring humans remain in charge of life-or-death battlefield decisions.
