Comment by Sasha Baker
U.S. defense policy official
The United States has been a global leader in responsible military use of AI and autonomy, with the Department of Defense championing ethical AI principles and policies on autonomy in weapon systems for over a decade. The political declaration builds on these efforts. It advances international norms on responsible military use of AI and autonomy, provides a basis for building common understanding, and creates a community for all states to exchange best practices.AI Verified source (2023)

The quote directly discusses promoting the responsible military/defense use of AI: it cites DoD ethical AI principles, policies on autonomy in weapon systems, and a declaration advancing norms on responsible military use of AI. That matches the full statement’s focus on responsible AI in defense policy.

The quote clearly endorses "responsible military use of AI," says the DoD has been "championing ethical AI principles," and praises a declaration that "advances international norms" and best practices.

The quote is authentic. The provided official Defense Department page contains this exact passage and directly attributes it to “Sasha Baker, under secretary of defense for policy” in a Nov. 22, 2023 Defense Department News article. So the wording is verbatim on the source page, though Baker is the quoted speaker rather than the article’s bylined author.

AI Unverifiable
Source_url (defense.gov news article 3597093) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. Web search corroborated the quote verbatim: Sasha Baker, under secretary of defense for policy, stated "The United States has been a global leader in responsible military use of AI and autonomy, with the Department of Defense championing ethical AI principles and policies on autonomy in weapon systems for over a decade," in the context of the 2023 Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of AI and Autonomy. The second paragraph about the declaration advancing international norms is consistent with the same announcement. Author attribution (Baker, US defense policy official), year (2023), and the "for" vote on "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy" all align. This 2023 quote is relevant and kept; Baker left office in Jan 2025, so no clear 2026 statement in this role exists to add alongside. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source_url blocks fetching; corroboration is strong.
