Commitment to Control Weaponised Artificial Intelligence: A Step Forward for the OSCE and European Security
Commitment to Control Weaponised Artificial Intelligence: A Step Forward for the OSCE and European Security
Key points
- The global debate on weaponised artificial intelligence (AI) often focuses on futuristic “killer robots”, which risks overlooking the fact that these technologies are already part of the security landscape.
- Diminishing human control over the use of force and the differences in states’ discourse pose a considerable risk for European security and stability.
- The impact of AI is not inevitable, and states should address this issue through political means, such as a political declaration with a commitment to ensuring human control over the use of force.
- With its inclusive membership, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) can and should become the platform through which its participating States can take a step forward in the global debate on weaponised AI.
