It’s imperative Australia shows commitment to urgently needed action on #autonomousweapons this #UNGA80
Stop Killer Robots@BanKillerRobots13 Oct 2025
As states discuss #AutonomousWeapons at #UNGA80 amid growing global instability and the widening gap between #AI development and regulation, they must remember that this issue is too important for inaction. 📺 Follow the meeting live: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k19/k1…

As talks kick off at the #CCWUN at #UNGeneva it is time for Australia to support a new legally binding instrument on #autonomousweapons
Stop Killer Robots@BanKillerRobots29 Aug 2025
We’ll be in the room next week as diplomatic discussions on #AutonomousWeapons begin at @UNGeneva. States will be discussing the Chair’s rolling text – which could form the basis of a treaty. They must maintain its integrity move toward negotiations. Time is running out. #CCWUN

Militarised #AI used by #Israel is causing killings at unprecedented speed and scale. Israel’s use of #AI-powered target recommendation system #Lavendar in #Gaza violates #IHL & demonstrates deadly #DigitalDehumanisation in conflict.🧵rep of State of #Palestine at #AWS2024Vienna
Matilda Byrne@tbyrne111 May 2024
At #AWS2024Vienna #HumanityAtTheCrossroads the representative of #Palestine highlighted the “extremely urgent real-life case of the use of #AWS against the Palestinian people…we are now witnessing an automated genocide, an #AI -powered genocide
