question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential impact of increasing autonomy in weapons systems on (1) civilian protection, and (2) compliance with international humanitarian law.
tabling member printed	Lord Clement-Jones
uin	HL5480
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2022 answer text <p>The deployment in armed conflict of any weapon system - including one with autonomous functions - which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians would be contrary to International Humanitarian LAW (IHL) and therefore unlawful. We strongly believe that AI and autonomy within weapon systems can and must be used lawfully and ethically. Autonomous systems have the potential to support the better application of IHL by improving the evidence, analysis and timeliness of decision making.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 27/01/2022 12:13:06 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
