One of the most urgent frontiers of civilian risk is the battlefield integration of #Ai. When AI is embedded into military decision-making and target identification, civilians face heightened dangers.

Cyber attacks, disinformation and hate speech and other digital threats can put civilians at risk in conflict. States and parties to conflict must protect civilians and the vital services they rely on, including from harm caused by ICT activities.
