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.
