TR10 INCYBER Autonomous weapons what are the regulatory implications?

The armed forces of several countries are already using algorithms to make decisions and plan
military strategies, including the use of autonomous drones in counter-terrorism operations.
However, these developments raise legal, ethical, and security concerns. To move forward in the debate on the use of AI in military operations, there is a need for further independent discussion that leads
to agreement. Although there is no consensus on a universal ban on lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), reaching such an agreement could help set new standards for appropriate actions.
This would keep the proliferation of these technologies under control and lead to the gradual introduction of new practices in the military field. Many questions and issues relating to military
autonomy currently remain unanswered. The unregulated nature of these technologies gives governments developing them the opportunity to influence combat practices. What initiatives has the UN taken
to regulate autonomous systems? What are the prospects for further debate and potential regulation?
Could too much regulation hinder technological progress?
