The statement, although not legally binding, was a tangible outcome of the first international summit on military AI, co-hosted by the Netherlands and South Korea this week at The Hague.
During the conference, the US called for the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military domain, and proposed a declaration which would include 'human accountability', Reuters has reported.
"We invite all states to join us in implementing international norms, as it pertains to military development and use of AI" and autononous weapons, said Bonnie Jenkins, US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control.

The US and China signed the declaration alongside more than 60 nations.
