South Korea convened an international summit on Monday to establish guidelines for responsible AI use in the military. Despite high attendance, any agreement is not expected to have binding powers.

Representatives from over 90 countries, including the U.S. and China, attended the two-day summit in Seoul. The event aimed for a blueprint on AI use, reflecting principles from NATO and other nations.

Key discussions included AI-enabled drones, legal compliance, and preventing autonomous weapons from making decisions without human oversight. The summit hoped for detailed boundaries on AI use, despite likely lacking legal commitments.
