Jody Williams explains the move toward killer robots - the third revolution in warfare - and the threat these lethal autonomous weapons pose both to global security and to human security. As she describes, killer robots, that on their own would be able to target and kill human beings, would be crossing a moral and ethical divide that should not be breached. Jody Williams received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work as founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which shared the Peace Prize with her that year. She’s an outspoken peace activist who struggles to reclaim the real meaning of peace—a concept which goes far beyond the absence of armed conflict and is defined by human security, not national security. Since January of 2006, she has chaired the Nobel Women’s Initiative, an organization that uses the prestige and influence of the six women Nobel Peace laureates that make up the Initiative support and amplify the voices of women around the world working for sustainable peace with justice and equality.
