| [00:00.100] | From VOA Learning English, |
| [00:02.210] | this is the Technology Report. |
| [00:05.770] | An international coalition is calling for a ban |
| [00:11.070] | on fully autonomous weapons known as "killer robots." |
| [00:16.750] | The 45-member coalition proposed the ban |
| [00:20.950] | to governments last month |
| [00:23.060] | at a meeting of the United Nations Convention |
| [00:26.570] | on Conventional Weapons in Geneva, Switzerland. |
| [00:30.370] | The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots |
| [00:33.740] | wants the U.N. organization to add fully autonomous weapons |
| [00:39.690] | to its work program in 2014. |
| [00:43.990] | Scientists have yet to develop fully autonomous killer robots. |
| [00:49.200] | However, technology is moving toward increasing autonomy. |
| [00:55.050] | Such weapons would identify |
| [00:57.900] | and attack targets without human assistance. |
| [01:01.810] | Noel Sharkey is a founding member |
| [01:05.210] | of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. |
| [01:08.610] | He also chairs the International Committee for Robot Arms Control. |
| [01:14.620] | Mr Sharkey says autonomous weapons should be banned. |
| [01:20.370] | "The big problem for me is that there are no robot systems |
| [01:23.820] | that can discriminate between civilian targets and military targets |
| [01:29.400] | unless they are very, very clearly marked in some way… |
| [01:32.900] | so, the idea of having robots going out into the field |
| [01:35.860] | and selecting their own targets is to me, |
| [01:38.060] | is just horrifying. It cannot work, " said Sharkey. |
| [01:40.350] | Activists say robotic systems with different degrees of autonomy |
| [01:45.410] | are already in use by Britain, Israel, |
| [01:49.220] | the United States and South Korea. |
| [01:52.800] | They believe China and Russia are also moving toward these systems. |
| [01:58.850] | Steve Goose is a member of the campaign, |
| [02:02.200] | he also directs the Arms Division at Human Rights Watch. |
| [02:07.200] | He warns the killer robots will become a reality |
| [02:12.060] | unless governments act now to ban them. |
| [02:15.660] | He says the world should oppose the weapons system |
| [02:20.330] | that would be able to identify and attack targets mechanically. |
| [02:25.830] | He believes such a system crosses a basic moral and ethical line. |
| [02:32.080] | "Robotic weapons systems should not make life |
| [02:35.340] | and death decisions on the battlefield. |
| [02:37.370] | That is simply inherently wrong. |
| [02:39.010] | So, they need to be banned on ethical grounds. |
| [02:42.820] | We think they also need to be banned on legal grounds. |
| [02:45.720] | If and when a killer robot commits a war crime, |
| [02:51.120] | violates international humanitarian law… |
| [02:53.940] | who would be held accountable, |
| [02:55.290] | who would be responsible for that violation?" said Goose. |
| [02:57.440] | He adds that in recent months, fully autonomous weapons |
| [03:01.390] | have gone from a little known issue to one |
| [03:05.240] | that is commanding worldwide attention. |
| [03:08.100] | He says that since last May, |
| [03:12.370] | 34 countries have openly expressed concern |
| [03:17.030] | about the dangers the weapons present. |
| [03:20.080] | Mr Goose notes that in 1995, |
| [03:24.330] | the Convention on Conventional Weapons |
| [03:27.550] | added a new policy to the treaty, |
| [03:30.300] | which barred the use of blinding lasers. |
| [03:34.110] | He believes killer robots could become the second such weapon |
| [03:39.510] | to be banned before it is ever used in battle. |
| [03:43.760] | And that is the Technology Report from VOA Learning English. |
