  If the decision-making power on the objectives of military operations does not rest with humans，And the robot will be in charge，What will happen to the world？So-called“Killer robots” refer to weapons that can independently determine military goals on the battlefield。Such autonomous robots are different from drones that have been put into military operations，Because most of the latter are still remotely controlled by humans。However，In the near future，The deployment of automatic weapons will soon become a reality on the battlefield，And potentially replace human soldiers。Some countries and some experts have called for a ban on fully automatic weapons at the United Nations level，Other countries that have strategic interests in the development of such weapons have blocked negotiations on this issue。Then，In the absence of a specific international treaty addressing the issue，How existing international law regulates the use of automatic weapons？How will international humanitarian law and international human rights law treat this issue？If a new regulatory framework is urgently needed，What kind of rules should we conceive？Does the country need to bear responsibility for the Bet365 sportsbook reviewmistakes made by its autonomous robots？In this lecture，Dr. Machiko Kanetake will speak from the perspective of international law，Elaborate on the key issues surrounding “killer robots”。
