    Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones… (Source: i had close friends in international law)

    But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent “indiscriminate” killing.

      Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention

      Use of mines is not designated a war crime by the Geneva Convention.

      Some countries are members of a treaty that prohibits the use of some types of mines, but that is not the Geneva Convention.

      Mines are not part of what people refer to as the Geneva conventions. There is a separate treaty specifically banning some landmines, that was signed by a lot of countries but not really any that mattered.
