The rapid development and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in military systems by the United States and China has sparked international concern about the risks of unregulated military AI. Despite the lack of discussion on the topic during the recent meeting between the US and Chinese defense ministers, analysts warn that the lack of trust and the competitive nature of the US-China relationship will hinder efforts to regulate the military use of AI. The technology has already been used in conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, and the consequences of its misuse are dire. While both countries have made attempts to address the issue, with the US leading a political declaration on responsible military use of AI and China launching its own initiative, the fundamental obstacle remains the competitive bilateral relationship. The lack of trust and concerns about revealing information about capabilities will make it difficult to reach an agreement on regulating military AI.
