GC REAIM Symposium: Next Steps for Responsible Practice

HCSS conducts strategic research and analyses on issues of international peace and security, geopolitical developments and global trends, conflict management, defence transformation, cyber and the climate-security nexus.

HCSS - The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies

Join us at the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies for a timely symposium on the governance of military AI, part of the GC REAIM initiative.

The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies

Through two expert-led panels, we’ll explore how to translate high-level norms into real-world safeguards and manage the risks of adaptive, evolving AI systems in defence. From international frameworks to technical realities, this event offers practical insights for policymakers, technologists, and military professionals navigating the frontlines of AI governance.
