The robot killers are officially named deadly autonomous weapons (LAWs). In the absence of human involvement, robots can use artificial intelligence to target and kill enemies. Although members of the European Parliament tried to stop funding for deadly autonomous weapons, Brussels still Decided to finance the controversial robot through the European Defense Fund.

On the contrary, the proposed regulations for the establishment of protection funds now indicate that the projects it supports are not qualified only if their weapons are 'forbidden by international law'.

' 'Important experts believe that the international community should make use of deadly autonomous weapons. It was forbidden before.'
