Killer Robots and AI Overshadow Women's Rights at UNGA 81

Original: Strategic Blindness at UNGA 81: “Super Intelligence” and “Killer Robots” Take Center Stage as Women’s Rights Take a Back

The piece criticises world powers for prioritising emerging military technology over long-standing gender equality commitments.
