High-Level Conference on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence (REAIM) Convenes Latin American Regional Council

[Leaders Times] The second high-level conference on the responsible military use of artificial intelligence (AI), co-hosted by the South Korean government and the Netherlands, is scheduled for September in Seoul. In preparation, a regional council was held in Santiago, Chile, from June 13 to 14.

This Latin American Regional Council, jointly hosted by South Korea, the Netherlands, Chile, and Costa Rica, marks the fifth such meeting, following earlier councils for Asian nations in Singapore (February 26 to 27), Southeast Europe, the Middle East, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia in Turkey (May 22 to 23), Europe and North America via video conference (May 30), and Africa in Kenya (June 5 to 6). The Santiago council was attended by foreign and defense officials from 14 Latin American countries, along with experts from the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, and other regional specialists.

These regional councils aim to deepen understanding and engagement in the military application of AI across different regions. The insights gathered from these meetings will guide the South Korean government in hosting the upcoming REAIM conference effectively.

REAIM conferences focus on fostering international cooperation in the responsible development, deployment, and utilization of military AI. The inaugural meeting was held in The Hague, Netherlands, in February 2023, and the forthcoming session will continue these discussions in Seoul from September 9 to 10, 2024.
