The USA has unveiled a framework for the responsible military use of artificial intelligence (AI). As well as, greater than 60 countries, including the US and China, issued a joint statement supporting the responsible use of AI. Nevertheless, it has been identified that neither is effective.

On the sixteenth (local time), the US government unveiled the framework of the ‘Political Declaration on the Responsible Military Use of AI and Autonomy’ through the AI ​​Summit within the Military Sector (REAIM 2023) held in The Hague, Netherlands.

These include audits of military AI systems; they serve an explicit and well-defined purpose; undergo rigorous testing and evaluation throughout their lifecycle; and This includes making it possible.

Nevertheless, the US described the declaration as “a set of non-legally binding guidelines outlining best practices for the responsible use of AI in a defense context.”

On the identical day, on the REAIM summit, 60 countries, including the US and China, issued a joint statement. “We’re committed to developing and using military AI in accordance with our international legal obligations and in a way that doesn’t compromise international security, stability and accountability.”

But experts say the statement doesn’t address concerns about ‘killer bots’ or ‘the danger AI could escalate military conflict’. Human Rights Watch also urged “do not be fooled, and begin enacting internationally binding laws.”

Meanwhile, this conference drew attention because it was held at a time when interest in AI was at its peak resulting from the emergence of ChatGPT and the introduction of facial recognition, drones, and tanks within the Ukraine war.

Russia was not invited, and Ukraine was not present. Israel, which is aggressive in introducing military AI, attended the meeting but didn’t sign a press release.
