UN Security Council Passes New Resolution on AI Weapons Development

The United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a landmark resolution establishing international norms for AI in weapons systems, the first multilateral agreement specifically addressing autonomous lethal weapons.

The resolution prohibits fully autonomous weapons that select and engage targets without meaningful human control and establishes a verification mechanism under the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs.

The AI weapons resolution is seen as a diplomatic breakthrough given significant disagreements between major powers on arms control in recent years.

Human rights organisations welcomed the resolution but called for a stronger binding treaty.
