The Global Commission on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain (GC REAIM) is an initiative of the Government of the Netherlands that was launched during the 2023 REAIM Summit on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain in The Hague.
Upon request of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies acts as the Secretariat of the Commission.
Mission Statement
GC REAIM has been established, for an initial period of two years, to help promote mutual awareness and understanding among the many communities working on issues related to the global governance of AI in the military domain. By linking dialogues between these communities, the Global Commission will contribute to an essential global task: supporting fundamental norm development and policy coherence in this field.
Activities
The GC will produce a strategic guidance report which identifies short and long-term recommendations for governments and the wider multi-stakeholder community on responsible AI in the military domain on:
- What the multi-stakeholder community understands by responsible AI in the military domain,
- The elements that need to be taken into account at every stage of the AI life-cycle, when designing, developing, producing, introducing, and using AI in the military domain in a responsible way,
- The governance mechanisms that could be set up to design, develop, and use AI in the military domain in a responsible way.
GC REAIM Secretariat
Upon request of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) acts as the Secretariat of the Commission. The Secretariat of the GC REAIM is composed of three members of the HCSS staff.
