During a closed-door session, after UN cameras were switched off and observers from civil society organizations were asked to leave, the US and Russia each brought in about ten lawyers. That was nearly twice the number of lawyers on other delegations. According to three sources, the changes were being made so quickly that smaller delegations were unable to keep up with the process.

It isn’t the US vs. Russia, it is the ruling class of the US and the ruling class of russia vs. the rest of us.

    Why would this need to be a specific rule? Anyone giving an order to fire should be verifying their targets, whether the info is from AI or not.

      How do you expect someone who is launching a missile that will travel several hundred kilometers to “verify” the target?

      They’re going to have depend on reports and instrumentation. What this rule would do is make it so AI does not count as those, at least not on its own.

        Same way they’ve verified targets for thousands of years. Regular intelligence gathering, which doesn’t including consulting random number statistical samplers.

          Exactly, which means there is a difference between treating the random number generator as evidence or not which this rule would disambiguate.
