Stop Killer Robots works to ensure human control in the use of force. Our campaign calls for new international law on autonomy in weapons systems. #TeamHuman
In this period of geopolitical change, major advances in AI and automation, creating rules to protect people from digital dehumanisation and automated harm is urgent now, more than ever.

There is public support for legal safeguards that protect people from the horrors of war – like the treaty on #AutonomousWeapons we’ve been advocating for since 2013.

The report shows that support for international law is still strong despite current geopolitical uncertainty. It also shows that there is public support for strengthening rules and norms.

Additionally, over 70% of people around the world support their government in doing more to ensure that all states comply with international law.

Over 7 in 10 people globally wouldn’t support their country using AI-enabled lethal autonomy – even if their governments said that it was in their national security.

“In my region, AI is often presented as 'modernization,' but little is said about who controls it, how it’s used, or whose lives are most at risk.” – @giselalujan.bsky.social

As we kick of 2026, we're celebrating the campaigners around the world who make our work possible. #StopKillerRobots

Our campaign Vice Chair Peter Asaro underscored the dehumanising trajectory of these #MilitaryTech advancements, saying:

“The capacity to autonomously select targets is a moral line that should not be crossed”

”The era of killer robots has begun to take shape on the battlefield.”

The trajectory of #AI on the battlefield – which has already caused grave humanitarian harm– is not inevitable. Political leaders can create the legal safeguards we need to #StopKillerRobots.

With the growing gap between development and regulation in #AI and autonomy, which has already resulted in devastating humanitarian harm, we need legal safeguards now. #StopKillerRobots

2026 presents an opportunity for states to move toward a treaty on #AutonomousWeapons that we all need.

Machines shouldn’t make life or death decisions. It’s that simple.
We need a treaty to #StopKillerRobots now.

AI weapons are being used in ongoing conflicts — reducing people to data points that match target profiles. Right now, people make the final choice to strike in conflict, but without regulation soon that will be another decision made by machines. We must #StopKillerRobots now.
