Austria on Monday (Apr 29) called for renewed global efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in weapon systems, highlighting the potential emergence of autonomous so-called "killer robots."
During a conference in Vienna, which gathered representatives from 143 countries, and various non-governmental and international organisations, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg stressed that "We cannot let this moment pass without taking action. Now is the time to agree on international rules and norms to ensure human control."
