AI in the Military Domain at the United Nations First Committee on October 16
The 2024 UN General Assembly First Committee resolution on AI in the military domain marked a key step toward aligning multistakeholder and multilateral approaches. As the First Committee reconvenes in 2025, the Global Commission on Responsible AI in the Military Domain (GC REAIM), supported by HCSS, will host a side event presenting its Responsible by Design Strategic Guidance Report. The report offers shared knowledge, concrete recommendations, and a framework for institutionalising global AI governance—advancing a collective commitment to the responsible use of AI in defence and international security.
New GC REAIM Strategic Guidance Report on Responsible AI in the Military Domain
The HCSS Strategic Stability: Deterrence and Arms Control programme examines the full spectrum and dynamics of contemporary deterrence. With groundbreaking research from our team of experts, we explore how political signalling, psychological biases, and emerging disruptive technologies shape deterrence and arms control today, providing policymakers with practical insights to anticipate risks, avoid miscalculation, and craft more credible strategies and policies for stability in a turbulent world.
Responsible by Design: Strategic Guidance Report on the Risks, Opportunities, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain
The responsible development and use of AI in the military domain requires informed human decisions and context-specific approaches to designing, testing, and deploying these technologies in ways that uphold values of peace and human dignity. With this report, GC REAIM proposes modalities for global cooperation to foster warranted trust in the responsible use of AI systems, paving the way towards the institutionalization of governance for AI in the military domain.
