Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) Seoul Summit

One of five co-hosts of the REAIM Seoul Summit, putting responsible military AI on the international agenda.

The Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) Seoul Summit 2024 is the second edition in the REAIM series. As one of five co-hosts (alongside South Korea, the Netherlands, the UK, and Kenya), Singapore helped place the responsible use of military AI on the international agenda. The Summit adopted the Blueprint for Action — the first multilateral document to translate military AI governance into operational steps, covering: the position of humans in the command chain, the boundaries of autonomous weapons, the application of international humanitarian law to AI decision-making, and cross-border trust-building mechanisms. Singapore also chairs the REAIM Asia Regional Consultations, extending the dialogue across Southeast Asia. This is a flagship move in Singapore's "governance neutral zone" positioning, intervening on the most sensitive AI topic (military AI) — not through hard power, but through rule-drafting authority.
