and robotics researchers and that of 21 August 2017 signed by 116 founders of leading
robotics and artificial intelligence companies warning about lethal autonomous weapon
systems, and the letter by 240 tech organisations and 3 089 individuals pledging never
to develop, produce or use lethal autonomous weapon systems…” Referencing the open letter distributed by the Future of Life Institute.
