A three-day international security workshop opened on Wednesday with emphasis on strategic foresight in adapting to the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and associated technologies on modern warfare and global security dynamics. Experts at the conference, hosted by the Center for International Strategic Studies (CISS) in collaboration with the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), Geneva, underscored the profound and growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies on military strategies, global security policies, and ethical frameworks marking a pivotal shift in the paradigm of contemporary conflict and defense.
The workshop aimed to address the intersection of AI and cyberspace with global security, while focusing on the changing geopolitical landscape, the security implications of emerging technologies, and their ethical aspects. The discussions at the inaugural plenary and the subsequent working sessions also targeted cyber threats to infrastructure, norms for state conduct, and the need for multilateral dialogue for formulating a comprehensive response to the challenges of technology in international security.
