Experts are going to discuss in the headquarters of the UN in Geneva, the development of robots that can perform certain tasks without human intervention and, in particular, to use weapons against living beings. Experts plan to discuss questions about what degree of autonomy can be granted military robots: to assess the level of human involvement in the process during hostilities involving vehicles.

it is Noted that the community concerns about the appearance of robots capable of killing people, is growing and, according to some experts, the emergence of such machines must be prevented. Some countries, which include Croatia and Japan, said earlier about the necessity of prohibiting the use of military robots.

the Representative of Japan, in particular, emphasize that there are no projects on creation of intelligent machines that are managed without human intervention, writes Quartz.

it is Unlikely that the UN will take any specific action to prevent the creation of "killer robots" following the meeting, however, some steps in this direction will be taken.
