Killer robots programmed to open fire without human control are just a "small step" from the battlefield and military powers should agree to outlaw them, a top United Nations official has said.

Angela Kane, the UN's high representative for disarmament, said governments should be more open about programmes to develop the technology and she favoured a pre-emptive ban before it was too late.

She said: "Any weapon of war is terrible, and if you can launch this without human intervention, I think it's even worse. It compounds the problem and dehumanises it in a way.

"It becomes a faceless war and I think that's really terrible and so to my mind I think it should be outlawed. The decision is really in the hands of the states who have the capability to develop them."

Ms Kane said there was "a great deal of concern" about the prospect of killer robots being developed that would commit war crimes on the battlefield.
