I am so happy to gather you
all here in The Hague at the World Forum.
There are three themes that are central during this conference.
Myth busting A.I.
Responsible Deployment of the use of A.I.
and governance frameworks.
Time travels fast.
A.I. is everywhere.
It is changing the way we live.
It's changing the way we work.
And it is clearly changing the military.
The more our civilian societies become accustomed to these technologies,
robotics and A.I.
The more we also will accept the employment of these technologies on the battlefield.
For me, it is the most important element that it is reliable,
it is trustworthy, and there is no data-bias.
Wars are dirty! Biases are a part of warfare?
Yes sir, that is correct.
In the civilian domain, we are constantly looking to minimize risk.
And war is different.
You have to take risks.
One of the challenges is that as these things are being developed,
we're hoping, I guess,
that countries will be responsible and how they're developing them.
But we don't know that.
We have to understand how it can help.
But never, ever hand it over to A.I.
It's so rare to have such a multi-stakeholder venue
where you have people from all across the world and all different disciplines.
And to understand each other better,
I think is the first best next step for a global approach to A.I. governance.
It has been estimated that A.I.
is as groundbreaking as nuclear technology.
So it's here. It's here to stay.
And we need to think about how to apply it responsibly.
Korea is proud to announce that it will host the second
REAIM Summit in Korea, in cooperation with the Netherlands.
The machine will not decide.
It's a human being.
