Summary: This review article focuses on the potential use of lethal autonomous weapons, called by the Nobel laureate Jody Williams, killer robots in armed conflicts, and analyzes its main problem: the aptitude of such weapons to comply with the international humanitarian law and human rights or the necessity to dictate a legal and ethical regulatory framework that preventively prohibits their implementation. The methodology used was based on the scientific method, specifically on bibliographic research related to military computer advances and the survey of international legislation on the subject. It is a bibliographic-documentary and descriptive study in which data published in journals and specialized books on international humanitarian law and on defense and military strategy from different countries were collected. One of the conclusions is that currently there is no normative or conceptual consensus at the international level in the application of autonomous weapons systems and that preventive prohibition is not the conclusive answer to the problem.
