Recognising just how monumental this new technology can be in when used in War, the Netherlands and South Korea co-hosted the world’s first summit calling for the responsible use of AI in military operations and warfare.
The Summit comes amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine and a renewed interest in AI globally and the various applications that the technology might have.
All eyes on China and the US. Although the summit will be attended by 50 countries, the most notable attendees will be the US and China. The involvement of these two countries in the summit is notable, given that they are involved in a cold war of sorts, especially when it comes to technology, with the US trying to get its allies to impose sanctions on Chinese tech companies, similar to the ones that the US has imposed.

The conference takes place at a time when interest in AI, in general, is at an all-time high due to the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT programme two months ago, and the introduction of Microsoft’s new ChatGPT-powered-Bing. It is unclear whether the 50 countries in attendance will agree to endorse even a weak statement of principles being drafted by the Netherlands and co-host South Korea.
Because of the situation in Ukraine, which will be a key topic of debate during the summit, which takes place in The Hague from February 15 to 16, organisers decided not to invite the Russian Federation.
