He continued: "At the same time, it is certainly necessary to take into account that this technology also entails risks. This requires ensuring human control over the operation of technologies based on artificial intelligence, and countries practically determine the forms of this control at the national level."

“Possible ways to ensure human oversight include, for example: enhancing the reliability and resilience of systems, defining usage objectives, restricting the operational duration, geographical scope and size of the application, and ensuring timely intervention and system shutdown,” Ripken explained.

He stressed that "countries must adopt appropriate measures to prevent violations of international law in the context of the development and use of these technologies."

He added: "We see added value in exchanging views and agreeing on specific recommendations and guidelines, and it is important that this be done exclusively within specialized forums in this field."

Regarding Russia's position, Rybkin said: "In principle, Moscow does not object to establishing a multilateral dialogue on the use of artificial intelligence, including in the military field, and studying the repercussions of the use of these means on international peace and security."

He added: "We are convinced that such a dialogue must be based on consensus and be governmental in nature."

Ripken concluded by saying: “These basic principles aim to ensure that the interests of each Member State are taken into account and to ensure the effectiveness of the decisions that are adopted. Moreover, when exchanging views on this topic, special attention must be paid to ensuring that all countries, especially countries of the Global South, have access to artificial intelligence technologies fairly and without discrimination.”
