Comment by Zaqy Mohamad
Senior Minister of State for Defence
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.AI Verified source (2025-09-09)

The quote clearly supports the full statement: it calls for "effective guardrails," collective rule-setting, dialogue, and shared understanding for how AI should be used in "conflicts and defence," and explicitly backs the REAIM process on responsible military AI. This directly indicates support for promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy.

The quote clearly backs safeguards for military AI: it warns that "without guardrails, we risk escalation and miscalculation" and says countries must "shape the rules of the road" for how AI is used in "conflicts and defence."

Verified: the official MINDEF speech page titled “Speech by Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamad…” is dated 2025-09-09 and contains the quoted text verbatim at lines 45 and 48-51; the [...] omission cleanly skips intervening sentences, and the page attributes the speech to Zaqy Mohamad.

The official MINDEF page dated 9 September 2025 is indeed a speech by Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamad, and it contains the first paragraph exactly. However, the submitted quote is not fully verbatim as presented: in the official transcript, two paragraphs about the UN Open Ended Working Group appear between “No country can address this alone...” and “Similarly, Singapore actively supports the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) process.” So this is correctly attributed but materially abridged/spliced without marked omissions.

Quote (on AI in the military domain: "innovation has outpaced governance. AI is rewriting the rules of warfare... Without guardrails, we risk escalation and miscalculation. We must act collectively... Singapore actively supports the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) process... 2nd REAIM Summit held here in Seoul... 2023 Call to Action and 2024 Blueprint for Action.") attributed to Zaqy Mohamad (Singapore Senior Minister of State for Defence), 2025, source_url = mindef.gov.sg speech (09 Sep 2025). WebFetch on mindef.gov.sg returned HTTP 403, but a web search confirmed the verbatim quote and context: this is his speech at the Third Plenary "Strengthening Future Security through Artificial Intelligence (AI)" at the Seoul Defense Dialogue, 9 Sep 2025, including the REAIM support, 2023 Call to Action and 2024 Blueprint for Action. Author attribution correct. Year 2025 is current. Vote alignment correct: the speech strongly advocates guardrails and responsible governance of military AI, which is FOR the statement "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy"; recorded vote is "for". Verified.
