It seems things are stepping up a grade and there are concerns (and rightly so) about AI being left to run the battlefield:

U.N. talks adjourn without deal to regulate 'killer robots'​

U.N. talks adjourn without deal to regulate 'killer robots'

Countries taking part in U.N. talks on autonomous weapons stopped short of launching negotiations on an international treaty to govern their use, instead agreeing merely to continue discussions.

Countries taking part in U.N. talks on autonomous weapons stopped short of launching negotiations on an international treaty to govern their use, instead agreeing merely to continue discussions.

The International Committee of the Red Cross and several NGOs had been pushing for negotiators to begin work on an international treaty that would establish legally-binding new rules on the machine-operated weapons.

Japan Today has subsequently reported on the 19th December that further progress in the talks has been "blocked".

"Japan, the United States and other countries have blocked any advancement in U.N. talks toward legally binding measures to ban and regulate the development and use of lethal autonomous weapon systems."

This was interesting - China and rules. What is their angle? What are they up to?

Maybe twitchy that industrial nations can counter China's numerical superiority in wet warm bodies by just mass producing lethal autonomous weapons for the future battlefield, not that they couldn't do the same either being as advanced technologically as they are.
