Autonomous Weapons
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they maintain the position that the UK does not possess fully autonomous weapon systems and has no intention of developing them.
- Answer
-
Our position on fully autonomous weapon systems is clear and unchanged. The UK does not possess fully autonomous weapon systems and has no intention of developing them.
When deploying autonomous weapon systems we will always ensure meaningful and context-appropriate human involvement across the system lifecycle from development to deployment, ensuring human responsibility for outcomes.
