Nearly 130 countries on Saturday agreed on a text defining lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) - “killer robots” to their critics - a first step towards talks on a possible international treaty to regulate them.

The treaties for landmines and nuclear weapons have had some effect. I think, maybe.
The treaties are only good for as long as people think they don’t need the weapons.
I’d be willing to bet that there’s a lot of non-nuclear countries that either have, or can very very quickly put together a nuclear weapon.
