Presented as part of the MUN B 2023 conference
1 | Understanding the vast amount of human suffering that is endured in human-to-human conflict, |
2 | |
3 | Seeking a solution that would decrease militant mortality rates across the global landscape, |
4 | |
5 | Aiming to uplift the war-tech capabilities of member-states who lack the necessary means to |
6 | appropriately secure themselves from immediate threats to their sovereignty, |
7 | |
8 | Encouraged by U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres' remarks on using A.I. to further progress |
9 | and protect fellow member-states |
10 | |
11 | Acknowledging the significance of REAIM 2023, hosted by the Netherlands, which reveals the |
12 | importance of responsible development, deployment, and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in |
13 | the military domain |
14 | |
15 | Stresses the importance of maintaining national sovereignty in discussions pertaining to any |
16 | military capability, |
17 | |
18 | The United Nations does not retain the right to dictate how a member-state chooses to defend |
19 | their state’s security and people, |
20 | |
21 | AI should simply be viewed as another avenue in allowing countries to maintain their supremacy |
22 | and protect their borders from outgoing threats, |
23 | |
24 | Acknowledges that traditional warfare results in detrimental losses to human life, |
25 | While advancements in war technology aim to enhance military capabilities and safeguard national |
26 | interests, it is crucial to emphasize the imperative of prioritizing humanitarian considerations and |
27 | minimizing civilian casualties through the implementation of AI, |
28 | |
29 | It is a moral imperative that the UN encourages the transition to AI-centric warfare, |
30 | Imposes sanctions on member-states who oppose the development of AI wartech and designates |
31 | them as state-sponsors of terrorism, |
32 | |
33 | Barring AI war-tech development also means a nation is a proponent of murdering their own |
34 | civilians and soldiers, |
35 | |
36 | Until said member-states retract their condemnation of its development, their trade capabilities |
37 | will be severely limited. |
