Opening claims from the host

1

Most people support the use of drones when they clearly reduce human risk in dangerous jobs like firefighting, search-and-rescue, or infrastructure inspection.

2

The future of drones could become deeply destabilizing if autonomous weapons and AI targeting systems continue developing faster than international agreements can keep up.

3

Many people who enjoy the convenience and creativity enabled by drones still worry that drones may gradually erode privacy in public and semi-public spaces.
