Participants at a summit on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military fields Tuesday called for maintaining human control for reliable military use of AI and preventing its use from spurring the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The call was made in a joint declaration adopted following the two-day Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) conference, hosted by South Korea, a multilateral gathering for discussions on building the governance for the use of AI in the military fields. "Appropriate human involvement needs to be maintained in the development, deployment and use of AI in the military domain, including appropriate measures that relate to human judgment and control over the use of force," the "Blueprint for Action" declaration, released by the foreign ministry, showed. "We stress the need to prevent AI technologies from being used to contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and emphasize that AI technologies support and do not hinder disarmamen t, arms control and nonproliferation efforts," it said.
