Last week, the fifth and final GC REAIM Commission Meeting took place, from 24-25 June in the margins of the 2025 NATO Summit in the Hague.
Over the past two years, GC REAIM has hosted four successful Commission Meetings and Symposiums around the world (Washington D.C., Seoul, Stellenbosch, Abu Dhabi). The Secretariat is extremely proud to host the concluding Meeting and Symposium at its home base, The Hague Centre For Strategic Studies (HCSS), Lange Voorhout 1.
Since the first in-person meeting in July 2024, the Commission has brought together experts in computer science and AI, engineering, international law, defence and security, and ethics to discuss how to shape practical, responsible forms of military AI governance.
As the Commission gathered for this final session, the Secretariat was finalising the GC REAIM Strategic Guidance Report. This moment marks an important opportunity to reflect on the REAIM process, the insights gained, and their implications for the future governance of AI in the military domain.
NATO continues to play a leading role in promoting the responsible use of AI in military applications—both through the practices of its Member States and within its overarching AI strategy.
While the in-person meetings have concluded, the spirit of collaboration will carry forward. Beyond the 3rd REAIM Summit on the horizon, the commissioners and experts will surely cross paths again. GC REAIM has built a shared sense of purpose among collaborators working toward a more responsible future in military AI governance. Such multi-stakeholder networks will be essential for global governance of emerging technologies as they continue to evolve.
