Alljärgnevalt Austria välisministeeriumi poolne ingliskeelne kutse ja taustainfo konverentsi kohta.

The increased autonomy of weapons through the introduction of artificial intelligence will fundamentally transform armed conflicts. Autonomous weapons systems (AWS) therefore raise profound questions from a legal, ethical, humanitarian and security perspective. 
Humanity is at a crossroads and must come together to address the challenge of regulating these weapons. 
 
The Austrian Ministry of European and International Affairs is pleased to invite you to the international conference 
 
„Humanity at the Crossroads: Autonomous Weapons Systems and the Challenge of Regulation”,  which will take place on 29–30 April 2024 in Vienna. 

We aim to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders in the hope of further advancing the debate on an international regulation of AWS. International and regional organisations, representatives of academia, scientists, think tanks, industry, parliamentarians and civil society are kindly invited to participate and to discuss the fundamental issues and various challenges related to AWS and their international regulation.

Moreover, the first-ever UN General Assembly resolution on lethal autonomous weapons systems requested the UN Secretary General to seek the views of Member States and observer States as well as the views of other stakeholders on lethal autonomous weapons systems and to submit a substantive report to the General Assembly at its 79th session for further discussion. The conference also aims to encourage stakeholders to submit their contributions to this report.

In case of any questions regarding the international conference, please do not hesitate to contact aws2024@bmeia.gv.at. 
Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you in Vienna.
