　【ニューヨーク時事】国連総会は２２日、人工知能（ＡＩ）が人間の判断を介さずに敵を殺傷する「自律型致死兵器システム（ＬＡＷＳ）」について、世界の安全保障に与える影響を懸念し、対応が急務だとする決議を日米など１５２カ国の賛成多数で採択した。ＬＡＷＳに関する総会決議は初めてで、賛成国は規制に向けた議論を加速させたい考え。

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted its first ever resolution on lethal autonomous weapons systems, or LAWS.
   The resolution adopted Friday expressed worries over the impact that LAWS, which uses artificial intelligence to kill or injure enemies without human intervention, may have on global security. Countries that voted for the resolution hope to accelerate discussions toward regulating the technology.
   The resolution was supported by 152 countries including Japan and the United States, while Russia, India, Belarus and Mali, all of which are actively looking to use AI for military purposes, voted against it. Eleven countries such as China, North Korea, Israel and Iran abstained.
   The resolution, submitted by Austria, affirmed that the U.N. Charter and international humanitarian law apply to LAWS. It urged U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to put together U.N. member states' views on the technology and report them at the next General Assembly session.
   LAWS and other weapons that use AI are expected to bring about a "third revolution" that will fundamentally change the ways wars are conducted, following the first two revolutions caused by gunpowder and nuclear weapons, respectively.
