The starting point - is to sue the people who made and program them. The best and peaceful example is the court case in Russia where authorities as experiment made a crazy software in cooperation with cameras to search a strange persons entering metro, it found one = court.

Far too little , way too late !

Instead of having fully autonomous weapons we should have a central AI that oversees and controls all of the weapons

Bonnie Docherty of Human Rights Watch, the NGO which co-ordinates the anti-robot campaign, argues that, “As autonomous machines, fully autonomous weapons could not appreciate the value of human life and the significance of its loss.They would thus fail to respect human dignity

Sorry , the right to bear arms is absolute . Bans are unconstitutional . All our rights are absolute . Given by our creator and inalienable .

I WILL BE BACK!

Russia and US may both not want international killer robot laws but look where Russia was with its military robot on display in 2015 - 'Putin is impressed' (look for wild emotion in his face!]

And also I recall Russia had already said they had zero interest in such a cap.

We have had fully autonomous radar directed gun systems since at least the 70's i.e. CIWS/Phalanx. Probably earlier. This is 40 to 50 years old at a minimum so why the excitement now?
