Publication: Autonomous Weapons: AI and Robotics Researchers Open Letter by Future of Life Institute (2016-02)

Note: The source confirms the title (with minor wording variation: 'Autonomous Weapons Open Letter: AI & Robotics Researchers' vs claimed 'Autonomous Weapons: AI and Robotics Researchers Open Letter'), the publication date (9 February 2016 = 2016-02), the URL, and the organization (Future of Life Institute). However, the publicationType is listed as 'policy-brief' in the record, but the source describes this as an 'open letter' — a distinct document type. The source does not explicitly label it as a 'policy-brief.' The authors field lists 'Future of Life Institute' as the author, but the source indicates this is an open letter signed by thousands of researchers (4984 AI/Robotics researchers and 27,800 others), with FLI as the hosting/administrative organization, not the author. This is a partial confirmation with a notable discrepancy in how authorship/organization is characterized.
