Representatives from over 60 countries, including China and US, have signed an agreement to use Keanu Reeves warns that corporations will replace us with AI as 'they don't give a s***'.
The first ever Summit on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military (REAIM) was held in the Netherlands last week in a bid to limit the potential damage caused by AI during war.
All attendees—with the exception of Israel—reportedly agreed to develop and deploy military AI "in a way that does not undermine international security, stability, and accountability."

Russia, which is already rumoured to be using autonomous military robots for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, was not invited to participate in the talks.
In a speech, Chinese representative Jian Tan told attending nations that they should "oppose seeking absolute military advantage and hegemony through AI" and cooperate with the United Nations.
Meanwhile, US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control said: "We invite all states to join us in implementing international norms, as it pertains to military development and use of AI.
"We want to emphasise that we are open to engagement with any country that is interested in joining us."

Techspot reports that attendees also outlined some of the potential benefits of AI in military conflicts, where it could benefit smaller nations in terms of fighting off larger militaries.
Dutch deputy PM Wopke Hoekstra said: "Imagine a missile hitting an apartment building. In a split second, AI can detect its impact and indicate where survivors might be located.
"Even more impressively, AI could have intercepted the missile in the first place. Yet AI also has the potential to destroy within seconds."
It's worth pointing out that the statement signed by the participating countries isn't legally binding, which means that militaries which fail to abide by the rules won't necessarily face legal consequences in an international court.
