The Global Commission on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain (GC REAIM) was an initiative of the Government of the Netherlands, launched during the 2023 REAIM Summit on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain in The Hague
At the request of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies acted as the Secretariat of the Commission.
The Commission concluded its activities in September 2025 with the publication of “Responsible by Design: Strategic Guidance Report on the Risks, Opportunities, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain“.
GC REAIM was established, for an initial period of two years to 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 contributed to an essential global task: supporting fundamental norm development and policy coherence in this field.
The GC produced a strategic guidance report identifying short-and long-term recommendations for governments and the wider multi-stakeholder community on responsible AI in the military domain.
