This provision establishes an explicit prohibition on autonomous lethal weapon applications, requiring human authorization or control as a precondition for any weapons-related use, which directly engages emerging international discussions on autonomous weapons systems and AI governance frameworks.
Interpretive note: The provision does not define lethal function or human authorization, leaving interpretive uncertainty about the scope of this prohibition in weapons-adjacent or dual-use applications.
