Our guest speaker was Taniel Yusef (WILPF UK), who is researching the views of and current regulatory frameworks for STEMists working on robot-relevant tech. Her findings will be presented to government, universities and other stakeholders alongside the UK Campaign to Stop Killer Robots’ Technical Paper in 2021.
