According to the report, the US and China declined to sign a declaration on the military use of artificial intelligence at a global summit in Spain, highlighting persistent divisions over how rapidly advancing military AI should be governed.
The report stated that Spain hosted the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM), Pathways to Action summit earlier this month, bringing together representatives from 85 countries.
The report also stated that the meeting produced a non-binding declaration outlining principles for responsible military AI use, as governments grow increasingly concerned that advances in autonomy risk outpacing existing policies.
The report said that the declaration seeks to reduce the risk of accidents, miscalculations, or unintended escalation, particularly where AI-enabled systems could make life-and-death decisions without meaningful human involvement.
The report added that only 35 of 85 participating countries signed the declaration, including Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Ukraine, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The report also said that Russia and China are moving very fast, said Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans.
Additionally, Washington argues that existing international humanitarian law already governs military AI and has resisted new binding agreements, favoring voluntary principles and national policies instead.
On the other hand, Beijing also expressed support for banning the use of fully autonomous weapons, but not their development or production, preserving room to continue advancing AI-enabled military capabilities.
