Efforts towards effective multilateral governance have the potential to specify what is – and is not – permissible under international law with regard to AI in the military domain (AIMD). Multilateral dialogue on military AI finds itself at a crossroad, notably as current efforts tend to be overlapping yet dispersed, with several different potential routes: either continuing with the current fragmented dialogues or pulling the multilateral process under one comprehensive umbrella. Specifically, they have the potential to streamline and universalize intergovernmental dialogue under a new, consolidated forum on global governance and international norms on military AI and related issues. This shows that the REAIM co-sponsors still see value in these summits’ power to convene a range of stakeholders, including importantly the private sector, to discuss military AI. However, unlike the United States, it was present at the informal exchanges and submitted a working paper.
