Never Decide Life and Death

AI must never be entrusted with lethal or irreversible decisions.

Rationale

The document rejects the idea that machines can act as moral agents in matters of war, life, and death. Moral judgment requires conscience, responsibility, and recognition of the other as a person. Sharper alternative: No algorithm may decide who lives and who dies. Risk or objection: lethal decisions require moral responsibility, human conscience, and visible accountability; speed and precision cannot carry the moral burden of killing.
