7 April 2025
Pursuant to UN General Assembly resolution 79/239, WILPF made a submission to the UN Secretary-General’s report on artificial intelligence (AI) in the military domain and its implications for international peace and security. WILPF's input focuses on the following issues:
1. The need for human emotion, analysis, and judgement in relation to the use of force;
2. The existence of gender, racial, and other bias in AI technology and the implications for digital dehumanisation;
3. The impacts of military use of AI on privacy and personal data;
4. The environmental harms exacerbated by the military use of AI; and
5. The dangers of war profiteering and arms racing.
