U.S. Defense and State Department officials aim to meet with delegates from at least 50 other nations by mid-2024 to discuss the nascent framework and standards doctrine they’ve recently signed onto, pledging to “responsibly” develop and deploy artificial intelligence and autonomous military technologies. The Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of AI and Autonomy, endorsed by more than 40 countries, serves as a framework with voluntary guidelines for best practices in military AI use. A potential plenary session in early 2024 is anticipated, involving endorsing states to implement responsible practices. Notably, China and Russia have not joined the agreement, but ongoing dialogue between the U.S. and China on AI safety and capabilities is acknowledged. The goal is to enhance transparency, and communication, and reduce inadvertent conflicts related to military AI.
