The Future of Life Institute (FLI) is an organization dedicated to addressing critical challenges posed by emerging technologies. One of their main focuses is on educating people about lethal autonomous weapons systems, also known as 'slaughterbots' or 'killer robots'. FLI believes that these weapons, which use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify and kill human targets, are not only immoral but also a significant threat to global security.

To combat this issue, the FLI policy team is actively advocating for the formation of new international laws to ban certain types of autonomous weapons. They argue that any weapons targeting humans, operating beyond human control, or exhibiting high unpredictability should be prohibited. FLI also supports the regulation of autonomous weapons that can be controlled meaningfully by humans.

Through policy advocacy, video productions, and dedicated websites, FLI aims to raise awareness about the risks associated with lethal autonomous weapons and promote responsible AI governance worldwide
