infancy, a global conference said on Tuesday, calling the issue an \u201cOppenheimer moment\u201d of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Like gunpowder and the atomic bomb, artificial intelligence (AI) has the capacity to revolutionise warfare, analysts say, making human disputes unimaginably different \u2014 and a lot more deadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our generation\u2019s \u2018Oppenheimer moment\u2019 where geopolitical tensions threaten to lead a major scientific breakthrough down a very dangerous path for the future of humanity,\u201d read the summary at the end of the two-day conference in Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>US physicist Robert Oppenheimer helped invent nuclear weapons during World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Austria organised and hosted the two-day conference in Vienna, which brought together some 1,000 participants, including political leaders, experts and members of civil society, from more than 140 countries.<\/p>\n<p>A final statement said the group \u201caffirms our strong commitment to work with urgency and with all interested stakeholders for an international legal instrument to regulate autonomous weapons systems\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a responsibility to act and to put in place the rules that we need to protect humanity\u2026 Human control must prevail in the use of force\u201d, said the summary, which is to be sent to the UN secretary general.<\/p>\n<p>Using AI, all sorts of weapons can be transformed into autonomous systems, thanks to sophisticated sensors\u00a0governed by algorithms that allow a computer to \u201csee\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This will enable the \u00a0locating, selecting and attacking human targets \u2014 or targets containing human beings \u2014 without human intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Most weapons are still in the idea or prototype stages, but Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine has offered a glimpse of their potential.<\/p>\n<p>Remotely piloted drones are not new, but they are becoming increasingly independent and are being used by both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAutonomous weapons systems will soon fill the world\u2019s battlefields,\u201d Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said on Monday when opening the conference.<\/p>\n<p>He warned now was the \u201ctime to agree on international rules and norms to ensure human control\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Austria, a neutral country keen to promote disarmament in international forums, in 2023 introduced the first UN resolution to regulate autonomous weapons systems, which was supported by 164 states.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Vienna conference urges regulation
