About

Where states, researchers, industry and civil society meet on AI in the military domain.

What

The Military AI, Peace & Security (MAPS) Dialogues are the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs' convening series on artificial intelligence in the military domain, held with the support of the Republic of Korea.

Why

AI in the military domain is moving faster than the conversation around it, and the communities that need to govern it, diplomatic, technical, military and humanitarian, do not naturally speak the same language. MAPS exists to bring them together in a shared, neutral setting.

How

Each season features a short series of webinars focused on specific questions and bringing together panels of experts. Sessions produce public readouts and podcast episodes, with timing aligned to relevant multilateral discussions.

Objectives

01

Build a shared understanding

Give technical, policy, military and civil-society communities a common vocabulary and shared reference points on AI in the military domain.

02

Inform multilateral discussions

Feed concrete input into the UN informal exchanges on AI in the military domain and the processes that surround them.

03

Map agreement and disagreement

Surface where states and experts converge and where they differ, so the points of consensus and the open questions on military AI are clearly identified.

Convened by

The MAPS Dialogues are convened by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), with the support of the Republic of Korea.

Convened by UN Office for Disarmament Affairs, with the support of the Republic of Korea Ministry of Foreign Affairs
