Dozens of countries urge regulation of military use of AI
Published on February 17, 2023
Dozens of nations, including the US and China, have gathered at the REAIM conference, hosted at The Hague, co-hosted by South Korea and The Netherlands. The countries considered regulation to address concerns around AI developments in the military, citing the risks of ‘unintended consequences.’
Although experts considered a treaty regulating AI, similar to those on nuclear or chemical weapons, they agreed that any serious motions are a long way out. Former senior NATO commander, General Jörg Vollmer, emphasized the importance of keeping a human in the loop, stating, ‘Never let humans escape the responsibility they must assume, never, ever entrust it to the AI.’
