UN conference this month seen as key moment after years of discussions on filling gap in governance of AI systems

The scale of the opposition will become clear at a diplomatic retreat starting on Friday ahead of the seventh review conference on “certain conventional weapons” in Geneva due to be attended by 128 countries from 16 to 20 November.
