Joins organizations seeking ban on autonomous weapons

 

Saint Paul, MN, Feb.5, 2020 – Taproot Security joined hundreds of organizations, technology experts, and Nobel laureates in the Stop Killer Robots campaign for a ban on AI-powered autonomous military weapons currently under development in several nations.
