So what are killers robots? And what work is being done to challenge their use? To find out, Rad Show host AC spoke with Professor Michael Winikoff, AI expert from Aotearoa New Zealand and Matilda Byrne, Australian National Coordinator for the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots and a specialist in international security and disarmament. We discuss LAWS - Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems, the ethical, legal and technological issues with their development and the campaign to ban these killer robots.
