Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a feature of science fiction writing for almost a century, but it is only in more recent years that the prospect of truly autonomous robotics - even those that have only limited functionality - have become viable. While this potentially will provide great opportunities, the development of AI is likely to impact upon the very functioning of society, posing practical, ethical and security challenges.
Participants of the twentieth session of the Conference of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) were briefed in the margins of the Conference on the past, present and likely future developments in robotics and the technological trend toward increasingly autonomous or artificially intelligent systems. The event, which was organized by UNICRI together with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the Hague Security Delta (HSD), took place in the seat of the OPCW in the city of The Hague.
A workshop on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) risk mitigation took place at Dar es Salaam on 2 November 2015, within the framework of the European Union (EU) CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE) Initiative.
Within the framework of the European Union Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (EU CBRN CoE) initiative, and following the request of the National Focal Point of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), UNICRI organized the second workshop in order to provide guidance to the country in the development of its National CBRN Action Plan (NAP) using the methodology developed by UNICRI.
