Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in military operations is revolutionizing modern warfare — a development that demands robust governance frameworks to mitigate the risks. On 9–10 September 2024, at the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) meeting in Seoul, South Korea, a notable advance in military AI governance was achieved. The meeting, which was co-hosted by South Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Kenya and the United Kingdom, concluded with the endorsement of the ‘Blueprint for Action’1 by 61 countries, including the United States, Germany, France and Japan. China, who sent a government representative to the summit, did not support the document. After the conclusion of the meeting, two more countries were added, bringing the current number of supporting countries to 63.

The blueprint offers a comprehensive framework addressing the full spectrum of AI applications in military contexts. However, translating these high-level principles into actionable scientific and technological measures presents considerable challenges that require urgent attention from the global scientific community.

管理军事人工智能的科学挑战
人工智能(AI)在军事行动中的出现正在彻底改变现代战争--这一发展需要强有力的治理框架来降低风险。2024 年 9 月 9-10 日,在韩国首尔举行的军事领域负责任的人工智能(REAIM)会议上,军事人工智能治理取得了显著进展。会议由韩国、荷兰、新加坡、肯尼亚和英国共同主办,会议结束时,包括美国、德国、法国和日本在内的 61 个国家批准了 "行动蓝图 "1 。中国派政府代表参加了峰会,但没有支持这份文件。会议结束后,又增加了两个国家,使目前支持的国家达到 63 个。该蓝图提供了一个全面的框架,涉及人工智能在军事领域的全方位应用。然而,将这些高层次原则转化为可操作的科学和技术措施面临着相当大的挑战,迫切需要全球科学界的关注。
