Some films entertain you, others remind you that change is possible.
An incredible piece of work by @BeaFihn and the whole team who made it possible. Your passion and commitment restore our faith in humanity.
Watch it. Share it widely!
Will We Let AI Kill People? is out now.
Weapons that can choose and attack targets without a human deciding are already being used. There are still no international rules for them. In November, governments meet at the UN to decide what happens next.
Most people don't know this is happening. We made this film so you would.
Watch the full film free on YouTube, and send it to someone who should see it too.

Will We Let AI Kill People? is out now from @LexIntl_org
AI is already being used to find, target, and kill people without human control. There are still no international rules governing these automated weapons. But this November, that could change…

Ieri il primo evento del progetto @IAIonline "Understanding Nuclear Deterrence: Civic Awareness and Responsibility", finanziato da @LexIntl_org. Un confronto tra esperti di temi nucleari e giornalisti italiani, ricco di interrogativi aperti e di tanti spunti di riflessione.
Armi nucleari, equilibri strategici e conflitti. Come raccontare temi così complessi al grande pubblico?
In una tavola rotonda aperta da @LudovicaCastel5 ed @EttGreco, giornalisti ed esperti IAI si sono confrontati sulle sfide che le redazioni affrontano ogni giorno: verificare le informazioni, orientarsi tra le fonti e comunicare l’incertezza durante le crisi.
Un linguaggio più accessibile e un dialogo più stretto tra media ed esperti sono elementi di cui oggi non si può fare a meno.

This is a welcomed initiative at a crucial time but as so many #UNGA appeals or launches of new groups, it lacks a plan of concrete steps to take. Stubb and Støre mentions killer robots using AI for lethal attacks as a specific reason for this initiative. politico.eu/article/20-count…

What are the implications of AI and autonomous weapons systems for the protection of civilians? At 🇦🇹 #PoCWeek side event, talks focused on autonomous weapons and AI-supported targeting, raising concerns on accountability, escalation, and maintaining human control. #NotATarget

Ambassador Arafa met with Mr. Magnus Løvold, from LEX International @LexIntl_org to discuss #Lebanon’s recent accession to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention #APMBC, reaffirm the urgent legal and moral imperative of protecting #civilians in armed conflict and upholding #InternationalLaw at this critical moment #POCWeek

When people think of weapons, they think of missiles and guns. But the most dangerous threats can be invisible.
In #SummitTalks, @FilippaLentzos talks biosecurity with Beatrice Fihn. Produced by @LexIntl_org.

Bioweapons are not a relic of the Cold War. The risks are
real, they are growing, and too few people are paying
attention. I joined @BeaFihn on @LexIntl_org #SummitTalks to talk about why the #1972BWC is under pressure. Worth a watch. youtube.com/watch?v=hEPW4Spi…

Great to see FT’s editorial board support a new treaty on autonomous weapons. Governments at the CCW in Geneva need to get their actors together and for all negotiate this treaty before it’s too late. It’s quite literally a do or die moment for the world.

Partnering with @LexIntl_org, we're bringing together some 15 journalists from across the globe in Geneva for a 2-day deep-dive on international humanitarian law, weapons regulation and conflict accountability 🌍

New @LexIntl_org report shows, while international law faces many challenges, a vast majority of people
🌍 support equal rules for all states,
⚖️ reject violations of humanitarian law,
🤝 and want governments to ensure compliance.

Poland and the Baltics want landmines back. Finland just joined them. This isn’t strategy — it’s security theatre. And the ones who’ll pay for it? Their own civilians. @minefreeworld @MineBanTreaty @ICRC open.substack.com/pub/spoile…

Anti-personnel mines kill and maim indiscriminately. There’s only one way to be safe: To get rid of them.
We urge states to uphold the prohibitions of the Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention 👇
ALT Anti-personnel mines and explosive remnants of war kill indiscriminately.
Lex International retweeted
This is deeply unfortunate. Just last month, we published an episode showing how The Mine Ban Treaty has saved lives and improved our collective security

This is terrible news. Landmines mainly kill civilians and particularly children during war and for decades after any wars are over.
Killing your own people is not a real defense strategy. This is a grave mistake from these four countries.
Devastating news. #Poland, #Estonia, #Latvia & #Lithuania want to use cold-war era mines again, projecting weakness, not strength and putting civilians' lives at risk. @LithuaniaMFA @PolandMFA @MFAestonia @Latvian_MFA

“But nuclear weapons are not an inevitable fact of human life. They are not impossible to get rid of, and pushing for that can be done by ordinary people like you and me.” Thank you @BeaFihn for this powerful reminder of our collective power: nytimes.com/2024/12/26/opini… 👏🔥

I am writing in @nytopinion today about why nuclear deterrence is such a vulnerable security strategy and how nuclear weapons are uniquely sensitive to public opinion, meaning regular people have extraordinary power of their future. nytimes.com/2024/12/26/opini…
