Launch of Exhibition on Digital Dehumanization

On October 13, Amnesty International, the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots and the SGI (Soka Gakkai International) hosted an event to launch an exhibition titled “Automated by Design” in New York. The exhibition, designed by Identity 2.0, situates autonomous weapons within the larger issue of digital dehumanization—the process by which humans are reduced to data. Verity Coyle, senior advisor and campaigner of Amnesty International, Isabelle Jones, campaign outreach manager for Stop Killer Robots and Tomohiko Aishima, executive director for peace and global issues of the SGI, spoke at the event.
