In an emergency summit in Geneva today, 140 nations signed a historic treaty banning the development and use of fully autonomous lethal AI weapons. The move comes after several close-call incidents involving AI-piloted drones in conflict zones last year.
The treaty mandates that a "human-in-the-loop" must be present for any lethal decision. While a few major tech powers abstained, the majority of the UN assembly hailed this as a victory for human rights and global safety.
