The only sensible thing to do is to pass laws that guarantee that the people who implement autonomous weapons are blamed for anyone who is wrongfully killed by them.
Because if you have someone pulling the trigger, you know who's to blame. But if a computer's doing it, it's oh-so-easy to shift blame.
Honestly, with that requirement in place, either AI weapons will never be implemented (because they can't prevent wrongful deaths) or they'll be perfectly implemented (making the world safer, possibly).
Passing a law like that could possibly lead to a win-win situation.
