Russia, China and U.S. in Talks to Curb AI Use in Nuclear Arsenals, Report Says

Russia, China and the United States are discussing a mutual commitment to limit artificial intelligence in nuclear arsenals, according to a report ahead of a planned trilateral summit next week. The talks matter because they could establish safeguards for AI in nuclear command systems, though Russia has been cautious about formal restrictions that might limit its military flexibility.

Negotiators have reportedly narrowed the summit agenda to areas where agreement may be possible, after the Ukraine war and Korean Peninsula denuclearisation largely dropped out. The three countries are also working towards a joint declaration affirming that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was exchanging agenda proposals with Washington and Beijing.
