The General Assembly,
Recognising statements from the U.S. Department of Defense (USA.gov) that summit the
adoption of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to ensure the U.S. warfighters
maintain decision advantage on battlefield,
Acknowledging points from The Department Of State and USAID Overview (U.S.
Department of State) that highlight that artificial intelligence will help strengthen global health
security and combat infectious disease threats,
Believing that artificial intelligence will renew U.S. leadership and mobilize alliances to
address the global challenges that have the greatest impact on Americans’ security and well
being,
Noting that artificial intelligence systems can analyze vast amounts of data, providing military
leaders with better insights and faster decision-making capabilities,
Applauding that artificial intelligence technologies, such as autonomous systems and
predictive analytics, can enhance military operations by identifying patterns and detecting
threats,
