The Netherlands and South Korea hosted the inaugural Summit on Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) in The Hague, with about 2,000 delegates from governments, companies, academia and civil society. On 16 February 2023 participants issued a call to action and agreed to set up a Global Commission on AI to define military AI and guide its responsible development and use. The Dutch government’s list of endorsers names 58 countries and territories, among them the United States and China. At the same summit the US State Department launched its Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy, a non-binding text saying military AI must comply with international humanitarian law and humans should keep control of nuclear weapons decisions.

Why it matters

Governments that disagree on autonomous weapons, including the US and China, signed one non-binding text on military AI, and South Korea took on the next summit.
