China calls for more international cooperation
Like the United States, China has largely refrained from signing on to large scale treaties or agreements to limit AI weapons. The most obvious reason for why is because they, also like the U.S, have invested heavily in space.
Tan Jian, China’s ambassador to The Netherlands, attended the event and reportedly sent a pair of papers to the United Nations which said AI weapons, “concerns the common security and the well-being of mankind,” which means any solution moving forward should be made collectively. During the summit, according to Reuters, Jian said it crucial countries opt to work together through the UN and “oppose seeking absolute military advantage and hegemony through AI.”
