An international conference was held in Switzerland to discuss the regulation of “AI weapons” that AI uses artificial intelligence to automatically recognize and attack targets. The meeting agreed on the first international rules around the use of such weapons, but there is a view that it does not contain legally binding regulations and cannot be stopped.

Government representatives and experts participated in the international conference held at the United Nations European headquarters in Geneva, and the reports of the discussions that had been underway were compiled before dawn.

The report is in fact the first international rule, and some of the attacks should not be allowed to be killed by “AI weapons” where the decision of the attack should be made by humans and the machine automatically selects the target. In terms of development and use, international humanitarian law is included.

On the other hand, the report was not legally binding and did not mention the ban imposed by treaties requested by some countries and NGOs.

According to the report, the conference will be held again from next year to next year, and discussions on regulations will be deepened. The United States, Russia, etc., which are promoting the development of AI weapons, and countries seeking legally binding regulations The gap between the claims remains large.

Some say that the first international rules on the regulation of AI weapons have been put together, but there is a view that it will not stop the development and use of AI weapons if there is no legal binding force. .
