Interview with Stephen Goose
summary
Human Rights Watch says civil society banned blinding lasers, anti‑personnel landmines and cluster munitions — three of six weapons banned — and now pushes for a treaty to prohibit fully autonomous "killer robot" systems that would select and fire without a human. Campaign gathers ~60 NGOs in 30 countries, an AI open letter with ~4,000 signatories warns of rapid, cheap proliferation, and reports highlight an accountability gap and the need for meaningful human control to prevent unlawful civilian harm.
