Original: 'Killer robots' one step closer as Russia and US team up to strip safeguards from UN pact https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https:/

Russia and the United States are jointly pushing to remove safeguards from a United Nations agreement on autonomous weapons, according to a Mirror report. Critics warn the move brings so-called 'killer robots' — AI systems that could select and attack targets without human control — one step closer to reality. The unusual alignment of the two powers on weakening the pact is drawing concern from arms-control advocates.

Why now: An unexpected US-Russia alliance weakening UN limits on autonomous weapons raises fears about AI-driven warfare.
