U.S. and China Skip New AI Weapons Pledge in Spain as Only 35 Nations Sign
The U.S. and China declined to sign a new declaration on military AI use at a Spain summit, with only 35 of 85 countries backing the voluntary principles. Delegates cited strained U.S.-Europe relations and uncertainty over future alliances as reasons for hesitation. The agreement, reached at the REAIM meeting in A Coruna, is non-binding. Signatories include Canada, Germany, France, Britain, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Ukraine.
