Robin Geiss, director of the UN Institute for Disarmament Research, said AI is already widely used in military work such as intelligence analysis, target identification, drones and cyber operations. He warned that opaque systems raise the risk of error and escalation, and that non-state armed groups may gain access to such tools. UNIDIR is due to launch a multi-stakeholder forum on Thursday that will look at industry guidelines and an AI security lexicon.
