The US just announced an Autonomous Warfare Command. The UN Secretary-General warns against the autonomous targeting of humans by machines. Here's the legal problem, from Bonnie Docherty (Harvard Law School / Human Rights Watch): the laws of war require weighing civilian harm against military advantage, case by case. No system can be pre-programmed for every situation, and none brings the context and judgment a human would. ▶️ Full video linked in bio. ✍️ Machines shouldn't make that call.

Who should decide who lives and who dies in war: a person, or a machine? Militaries are already using AI to identify targets and run operations, but the laws of war were written assuming humans make those calls. In this @dwnews explainer, Bonnie Docherty (Harvard Law School / Human Rights Watch) and Laurie Blank (Emory Law) take on whether those rules still hold up. ✍️ Europe can lead here.

So… Who's responsible? When a person makes a deadly mistake in war, someone has to answer for it. When an autonomous weapon picks the wrong target, the blame starts moving: The programmer: "I just wrote the code." The manufacturer: "I just built it." The commander: "I just switched it on." The algorithm: … Can’t put 🤖 on trial… That's the accountability gap. The laws of war depend on people being responsible for each attack. Machines that choose their own targets break that chain. On 16–20 November, governments meet in Geneva at the UN's weapons treaty talks (the CCW). Tell your MP/MdB/Député/Députée that no weapon should be beyond accountability. Negotiate a treaty.

"A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision." That line has circulated for years as a page from a 1979 IBM training. IBM's archives never found a surviving copy, but the logic only gets sharper with time. If a machine can't be held accountable for a management decision, it has no business deciding who lives and who dies. Autonomous weapons hand that call to software, and there's still no binding international law to stop it. Europe can lead the push for a treaty that keeps meaningful human control over every use of lethal force. Sign the WeMove Europe petition, link in bio.

Lockheed Martin's CEO went on CNBC and told investors not to worry that defense stocks dipped during the Iran war, because "this demand is not fleeting. It's permanent." Read that again. The world's biggest weapons maker is pitching permanent war as a growth plan. The same industry is building more AI and autonomy into the weapons it sells. Market demand should never decide when lethal force is used. People should.

Should an algorithm decide who lives and who dies? 89% of people in Germany say they're worried about the growing use of AI weapons in war, and 86% want their government to help lead on global rules (Future of Life Institute poll).

"The worst case is the goodness of human nature vanishes." Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and co-chair of the UN's scientific panel on AI, on what happens if AI goes unregulated. She names the schoolgirls killed in Iran and asks: where is accountability? And she points to new Wharton research on "cognitive surrender": people handing their judgment over to chatbots. Surrendering judgment to a chatbot is one thing, but surrendering it to a weapon is another. Europe can lead the push for a treaty that keeps humans in control of lethal force.

Landmines. Cluster bombs. Chemical weapons. Blinding lasers. Nuclear weapons. Small groups of campaigners and diplomats helped get every one of them banned by treaty. Now they're taking on weapons that hand life-and-death decisions to machines. Journalist @cappsrob spent two years following Beatrice Fihn (@lex_international), who led the Nobel Peace Prize–winning campaign for the nuclear ban treaty, and the people pushing for the first treaty on autonomous weapons.

A billionaire who builds autonomous weapons just pitched drugging people into staying married. Anduril founder Palmer Luckey said on a podcast he'd "end the tragedy of divorce with oxytocin doping for marriage counseling," calling the hormone "totally unregulated, which is great." As @cheyenne.l.hunt breaks down, this isn't a joke. It's natalism with a startup pitch. Divorce isn't the tragedy. Being unable to leave is. When states made divorce easier, domestic violence and women's suicides dropped. The men who want control over who stays married are the same men building weapons that make life-and-death decisions.

Per the people quoted in this clip, the odds AI goes "really, really badly" run anywhere from 10% to 25%. The response? Make sure the killer robots are American. @jonstewart has a better idea: no killer robots. The "we can't let China win" race is exactly how we end up with machines picking targets and no rules at all.

When ITV News asked AI executives leaving a White House lunch whether their industry could safely regulate itself, Palantir CEO Alex Karp joked about his "addictions" and then said: "I'm not God." He's right. That's exactly the problem. Palantir builds AI for militaries and surveillance. The companies racing to sell AI for war can't be the only check on how it's used. Decisions over life and death need meaningful human control, enforced by law, not voluntary pledges. Europe can lead the push for a binding UN treaty on autonomous weapons.

The UN's top humanitarian official has had to hide from AI-powered drones. In an interview with RTÉ's Six One News, UN aid chief Tom Fletcher describes $250 drones, often supplied to both sides of a conflict and increasingly run by AI, in Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and Ukraine. He's sat with people maimed in marketplace strikes. His words: "utterly chilling." Machines should never decide who lives and who dies.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says AI will increasingly predict people's behavior, maybe even their thoughts. At home, he says, that's something to control. On the battlefield, he argues limits would leave the US unable to win. That's the arms-race logic pushing militaries toward weapons that choose targets on their own. The answer isn't a faster race. It's rules. Europe can lead negotiations on a binding UN treaty that bans autonomous weapons that target people and keeps meaningful human control over every use of lethal force.

The CEO of Palantir, a company that builds AI targeting software for the U.S. military, says he told Israel's government to use "maximum violence" on the people organizing violence. Then he says we'd have a better world if Germany, Israel and the Democratic Party listened to him more. This is who's shaping how AI goes to war. Decisions over life and death shouldn't belong to tech billionaires or to machines.

When people say AI is getting people killed who should never have been targeted, this is what they mean. In February, two US missiles hit Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran, killing more than 150 people, at least 123 of them children. According to Bloomberg's reporting on a Pentagon review, outdated data fed into Palantir's Maven targeting system surfaced the school as a military target, some staff assumed Maven would catch stale intel, and CENTCOM's civilian harm team had been cut from 10 people to 1. A UN fact-finding mission has since found reasonable grounds to believe the strike was a war crime. And there are still no international rules for AI in targeting. 🎥 @emma_pike_ breaks it down.

A defense tech founder says he'd "definitely" build nuclear weapons. And the Pentagon doesn't even own the AI and drones it's buying from Silicon Valley. So who's actually deciding how wars get fought? In this DemocracyNow clip, national security reporter Sharon Weinberger, author of "Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War," explains how companies like Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX now control the technology the military depends on. Life-and-death decisions shouldn't be handed to machines. Europe can lead the push for a binding UN treaty on autonomous weapons that keeps meaningful human control over lethal force.

An AI chatbot told a US special operations analyst that a Chinese ship was carrying nuclear weapons components. It wasn't. According to CNN, aircraft were already in the air and armed troops were getting ready to board when officials caught the error. One source said it "almost started a war." This is what happens when machines make life-and-death calls faster than people can check them. Keep humans in control of lethal force.

A Harvard Law student asked Anthropic's chief economist a direct question: how does it feel to work for a company whose AI may have been in the targeting chain behind the US strike on a school in Minab, Iran, that killed around 120 children? And should Anthropic's line go further than banning fully autonomous killing? The answer: "I don't know about that specific scenario." Pentagon investigators found that overreliance on Palantir's Maven targeting system contributed to the strike. Maven reportedly uses Anthropic's Claude. Anthropic's CEO has said he doesn't know what role Claude played, and that the use didn't break company policy because a human made the final call. A human signing off isn't the same as meaningful human control. Sign the WeMove Europe petition for a treaty that requires meaningful human control over every use of lethal force.

“I love killer robots.” “Anything that moves is destroyed.” Odds of AI weapons wiping out humanity? “20%.” They’re not hiding it. They’re saying it on camera, gleefully even. The people building these weapons admit innocent people will die, and some of them still call it “good on net.” Right now, no international law stops machines from choosing who to kill. That could change next month. In Geneva, governments decide whether to start negotiating the first global treaty on autonomous weapons. They’ll only act if they feel public pressure. Sign the petition asking European leaders to: 1) Start treaty talks now 2) Ban autonomous weapons that target people 3) Keep humans in control of lethal force At 100,000 signatures, it goes straight to the meeting.
