South Korea registered the strongest opposition to the war practice, with about three-quarters of respondents siding against the killer robots. Germany was right behind South Korea, where 72 percent of respondents said they somewhat or strongly oppose lethal autonomous weapons systems in war.

The report differentiates between lethal autonomous weapons systems and drones. Drones are controlled remotely by a person, who selects and attacks targets. The lethal autonomous system described in the report is able to identify and attack targets without human intervention.
