The problem with today’s environment is that innovation has outpaced governance. AI is rewriting the rules of warfare, but if we do not write the rules in warfare, we risk losing humanity. Without guardrails, we risk escalation and miscalculation. We must act collectively to shape the rules of the road. No country can address this alone. To establish effective guardrails, countries need to work together, step up dialogue, and develop a shared understanding of how new technologies and capabilities should be used in conflicts and defence. Similarly, Singapore actively supports the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) process. We co-hosted the 2nd REAIM Summit held here in Seoul, last year. REAIM was the first global platform to discuss military AI. It produced a 2023 Call to Action and 2024 Blueprint for Action — both were widely supported by many states. Unverified source (2025)
