Militär: Deutschland und Großbritannien sollen bei militärischer KI kooperieren
Künstliche Intelligenz wird im militärischen Bereich immer wichtiger. Darum wollen der deutsche Verteidigungsminister und sein britischer Amtskollege heute eine Kooperation verkünden.
Berlin and London - Defence Ministers Boris Pistorius and Wes Streeting announced plans to expand military cooperation between their two nations into the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Streeting made this announcement in a guest column for the "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung" ahead of his scheduled meeting with Pistorius this afternoon at 3 PM.
Streeting highlighted the importance of jointly testing, developing, and eventually implementing AI in their respective armed forces. This move aims to strengthen their collaboration and keep pace with potential adversaries who seek to cause harm. The governments and industry representatives from both countries are expected to convene in early 2027 to advance the implementation of this plan.
The rise of AI in military contexts is increasingly significant. The International Committee of the Red Cross has already noted an arms race taking shape. Streeting emphasized that while the adversaries' willingness to cause harm is not new, their capabilities have evolved. Consequently, a collective response from Europe is necessary.
Terrorism, sabotage, and hostile actions, often attributed to Russia, have become more prevalent. Germany and Britain agreed two years ago to deepen their defense cooperation through the Trinity-House Agreement. Later, they committed to bolstering cybersecurity measures under this framework. With the addition of AI, as outlined in Streeting's article, the scope of their partnership will expand.
