Pharmacology of electrically evoked contractions of human bladder [proceedings].

Abstract

Will future lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), or « killer robots », be a threat to humanity ? In this policy paper, we argue that they do not take responsibility away from humans ; in fact they increase the ability to hold humans accountable for war crimes – though their distribution and use must be regulated by state and international agencies. We argue that now is a crucial time to ensure an agreement on regulation, while development, application and use of these technologies are under debate. The widespread fear of killer robots is unfounded : they are probably good news.
