In fact, the discussions and frameworks are already developing and will continue to evolve as technology advances.

However, it's also realistic to say that not all actors will follow these agreements, which remains an ongoing challenge.

For instance, from an academic perspective, we are working now not only on making robots more capable, but also on training engineers to think about ethics and responsibility.

At the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering, Hereford, for example, we are developing programs such as our MNG in autonomous robotics in partnership with the Ministry of Defense that place a strong emphasis on both technical capability and ethical awareness.

Well, it's very important for every country to understand that bringing together academics, engineers and businesses is very important in order to advance in this sector.

This is what in Ukraine they did.

And this shows a very fast advance in this field.

So we should follow their example.

And I think we'll be...

Okay.

Yes, of course.

But as I said, humans are in the loop, but they are not in the front line.

And this is the same as I already said in the Second World War, the artillery.

So if you don't have artillery, you fall behind.

So nowadays, drones and robotics and autonomous systems play the same role.

You have to have them.

They will be on the front line.

But with the humans in the loop, they're sitting on their offices and...

or behind to set up the goals, to change the goals, change the mission, stop them if something goes wrong and these kind of things.

Well, yes.
