Australian rights group calls the summit a ‘missed opportunity’
Safe Ground, an Australian based human rights organization which has spoken out forcefullyagainst autonomous weapons in the past, told Gizmodo the REAIM summit “missed an opportunity” to adequately discuss autonomous weapons, despite the event being billed as exploring AI in the military domain. Similarly, Safe Ground noted the call to action seen as the high point of the event did not actually specifically mention autonomous weapons or prohibitions and obligations related to their development or use. It’s also non-binding, which means its mostly for show
“Whilst discussions of responsible AI are important, international law on autonomous weapons is essential, as well as clear policy at the domestic level,” Safe Ground said.
