Experts at Doha Forum urge new global rules to govern AI in warfare

At the Doha Forum 2025, a panel of international experts warned that rapidly advancing military uses of AI—especially in nuclear command and autonomous weapons—require urgent global rules to ensure accountability and human control. Speakers argued that AI is a “civilizational technology” akin to electricity and called for governance frameworks like the REAIM commission’s “Responsible by Design” report to keep military AI aligned with human rights and international law.
