The second summit on Responsible AI in the Military Domain, hosted by South Korea on 9-10 September 2024 with the Netherlands, Singapore, Kenya and the UK, drew 1,952 participants from 96 countries. 61 countries endorsed a non-binding 20-clause Blueprint for Action calling for human control over decisions on nuclear weapons use, steps to stop AI aiding the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and use of military AI in line with international humanitarian law. China attended and did not endorse it.

Why it matters

The text put human control over nuclear-use decisions into a multilateral document, and showed which governments would sign military AI norms and which would not.
