Artificial intelligence (AI) is progressively permeating every sector, ushering in a transformativeera for technological applications. In the military domain, AI is hailed as the next frontier. Fromthe battlefield to the boardroom, countries are fervently pursuing advanced AI technology,as AI applications seem to provide militaries with enhanced analytic capabilities, bolsteringoperational efficiency. Despite various recent initiatives to regulate the application of AItechnologies, a global framework to govern AI in the military conspicuously absent. The lackof a common regulatory framework raises concerns about a potentially dangerous race to thebottom. This could lead to the deployment of progressively more destructive systems with insufficient restrictions. This policy brief strongly advocates for an augmented role of the G7 inshaping the foundation for shared principles for AI-enabled military technology. Establishinga unified regulatory framework at the G7 is imperative to tackle the humanitarian and ethicalconcerns posed by the use of AI-enabled military technologies.
