The United States would like to develop norms for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military sphere together with Russia and China. The corresponding assurance was made by US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Bonnie Jenkins at the Washington Center for a New American Security, reports TASS .
"We believe that these are issues that all countries should think about, which [they] should take into account — in terms of how they view the use of AI in the armed forces. So we are not excluding anyone at this stage. We really want to see what [other] countries think about this," she said, commenting on the question of how the United States views the participation of Russia and China in the discussion of topics related to the preparation of rules that regulate the use of AI for military purposes.
Jenkins also rejected the suggestion that perhaps the United States should not even begin such discussions with Moscow and Beijing, since they allegedly would not agree with Washington's point of view.
Earlier in June, American businessman Elon Musk, during a conversation with a candidate for the US presidency in 2024, Robert Kennedy Jr., said that during his recent visit to China, he discussed AI regulation issues with the country's authorities.
In the same month, The Guardian newspaper wrote that a drone of the US Air Force, controlled by AI, decided to eliminate the operator so that he would not interfere with the drone to perform its task during the tests.
