I added a Bibliography section with https://autonomousweapons.org/
But I haven't spent much time checking out the site, and I suspect I might feel at least parts of it are more alarmist/sensationalist than would be ideal (e.g., the Slaughterbots video). So there's some small chance that it's net negative to link to the site here, at least when it's the only Bibliography link. There's also some chance that it'd be better to somehow include some sort of disclaimer, or pair that link with a couple other links that give quite different perspective.
