SUMMARY:PEACE TALKS #2: Autonomous Weapons\, AI\, and the Future of Human Control
DESCRIPTION:🕊️ The Second Edition: 5 November | UN City Copenhagen\n🇺🇳 The UN City Peace Talks explore some of the forces shaping peace and conflict today\, and what those changes mean for international cooperation and its role in responding to them.\nThe first edition\, held in June 2026\, took the Global Peace Index as its starting point and examined a world in which conflicts are becoming more internationalised and traditional approaches to preventing and resolving them are under growing pressure. \n💬 This second edition turns to one of the developments shaping the landscape already now and likely in the years ahead: the growing role of Artificial Intelligence and autonomous technologies in warfare. \n—————————————- \nArtificial Intelligence presents both promise and peril. AI is changing what is possible in warfare. The harder question is what we decide should be possible. \nApplied responsibly\, new technologies may improve situational awareness\, precision\, and the protection of civilians and military personnel. Military systems can already identify objects\, process information\, and support decisions at speeds no human can match. \nAt the same time\, increasing autonomy in weapons systems raises fundamental questions about human judgment and control over the use of force: \nWho remains accountable for decisions made or mediated by machines? \nHow much and what kinds of human control are enough? \nCan international rules develop quickly enough to keep pace with the speed of conflict and how wars are fought? \n—————————————- \nOn 5 November\, UN City Copenhagen and the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) invite you to the next edition of Peace Talks for a conversation going beyond the technology itself. \nWe will explore where the technology currently stands\, what increasing autonomy could mean for warfare dynamics\, how existing international law applies\, where international efforts to establish additional rules have reached\, and what are the most difficult unresolved questions. \nBringing together perspectives from the United Nations\, the Danish Government\, academia\, defence technology\, and international humanitarian law\, our discussion will ask a central question: \nHow do we preserve meaningful human responsibility for the use of force\, and what role can international cooperation play in establishing the rules that govern it? \n—————————————- \nPROGRAMME\n16:30 Welcome – Reflections on peace\, technological change\, and the role of multilateral cooperation \nJorge Moreira da Silva – UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNOPS \n16:37 Keynote Address – Danish perspective on defence\, AI\, and responsible technological development \nSpeaker to be announced \n16:45 Setting the Scene: Autonomous weapons and the state of play \nIngvild Bode – Professor of International Relations and Director of the Center for War Studies\, University of Southern Denmark \n17:05 Discussion and Q&A \n\nIngvild Bode\nJeppe Teglskov Jacobsen – Strategic Advisor and Chief of Information\, The National Defence Technology Centre\nIben Yde – Advisor\, Rethink Advisory; Former Head of Center for Operational and International Law at The Royal Danish Defence Academy\n\n17:40 Closing Remarks \n18:00 End
