both in the assembly hall and on the sidelines of this year’s big meeting, with speakers expressing both hope that the technology will help the world flourish and worries that it could do just the opposite.

Gallagher pointed to several statements that Pope Francis has made this year about the digital world, including: “It is not acceptable that the decision about someone’s life and future be entrusted to an algorithm.”
Gallagher called for starting talks toward a legally binding pact to govern lethal autonomous weapons systems — colloquially known as “killer robots” — and for “a moratorium on them pending the conclusion of negotiations.”
