With growing Digital Dehumanisation, the Stop Killer Robots coalition works to ensure human control in the use of force. Our campaign calls for new international law on autonomy in weapons systems.
Join us over the next few months, as Stop Killer Robots campaigner Hayley chats with a host of interesting people to get to grips with Digital Dehumanisation: what it is, what it means for you and the world as a whole and how we can take a stand against it.
DIGITAL DEHUMANISATION: Dr. Matt Mahmoudi, Amnesty International
In this video we talk to Dr. Matt Mahmoudi of Amnesty International and see he, and campaigner Hayley discuss the issues of privacy, dehumanising tech, and the urgent need to #BanTheScan.

Meet Giles Zamboski, AI - We interview an AI on Digital Dehumanisation
In this video, we're talking to Giles Zamboski, a photorealistic synthetic actor - 'Giles' as he's come to be known is created by AI, with all answers and even the questions themselves, generated by AI.
We've chosen to approach things in this way to give you a sense of what is possible using currently accessible technology, its potential to increase Digital Dehumanisation, and what AI thinks of increased autonomy.
The results might surprise you!
