Use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically identify targets and attack.A self -contained lethal weapon system (LAWS) is also called a "murder robot".Despite the risk of development and many casualties in the future, there are no restrictions on definition, development, ownership, and use.You should hurry international regulation initiatives.
Regarding the LAWS, in 2013, international NGOs complained of regulations, and discussions on regulations have been continued in the framework of the Specified Normal Weapon Usage Convention (CCW), which is ratified by 125 countries and regions.However, the 6th re -examination meeting of the CCW last December was not reached, and the consultation was postponed.According to discussions at an expert meeting prior to the meeting, Russia and others, which are developing development, strongly opposed regulations and could not consolidate their opinions.
Expert meeting has been decided to be held this year, but the prospects for the progress of the consultation have not been opened.In 2019, the CCW Control Council also applied international humanitarian law to prohibit indiscriminate attacks, including civilian people, and agreed in each country that humans are responsible for use.The specific measures are blank.
On the other hand, the threat of LAWS is becoming a reality.
A report from the United Nations Security Council Expert Panel, which was issued last year, pointed out that LAWS was used in the spring of 2010 in Libya during the civil war.The name was a drone -type weapon flying on a rotating wing manufactured by a Turkish military company.Military companies have denied the independent type, but the report may have identified enemies with face recognition technology, tracked and attack soldiers and transport vehicles with bombs.
It is said that Russia, including Russia, the United States, China, and China are investing in large amounts of LAWS.This is the tenth year since the international NGO's appeal, but unmanned weapons in each country have developed into LAWS and are more likely to be used in conflict areas.
There is a reality that cluster ammunition is still being used, regardless of weapons regulations, no US -China roks are included in the cluster ban on the cluster (raiding) bullets that Japan also ratified.Nevertheless, without the rules of the treaty, it would not have led to the prohibition of manufacturing and use in many countries.
The Japanese government will not develop the R & D of AI and robots, which leads to LAWS, but will not develop "completely independent killing weapons that are not involved in humans".
Despite the fact that the new colon virus was not realized, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has planned an international conference to create the rules of LAWS.As security tensions are growing around the world, it is currently allowed to input new weapons.As a country that demands peace, the government wants the government to lead the discussions on creating international rules, such as banning use and limited use, regardless of the logic of the great powers.
