Without a doubt, the most complex global governance challenges surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) today involve its application to defence and security. As part of the Rideau Club’s “Compelling Conversations” series, they are partnering with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Government of the Netherlands to host a private lunch discussion in advance of the first international Summit on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain (REAIM).
This conversation will offer policy makers, the military, and other interested parties a better understanding of the consequences of using AI in the military domain and the necessary best practices needed to manage related risks. The discussion will open with remarks from H. E. Ines Coppoolse, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Canada. A moderated panel discussion with Rafal Rohozinski, Bessma Momani and Branka Marijan will follow.
AI in warfare is here, and it is here to stay. Establishing meaningful multilateral dialogue on a comprehensive architecture for AI governance will be imperative to managing this new reality, especially given the shifting geopolitical landscape.
