Terrence - Host:
I am so happy to gather you all here in The Hague at the World Forum.

Willemijn Aerdts - Moderator:
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.

Terrence - Host:
Time travels fast.

H.E. Mr. Wopke Hoekstra - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of the Netherlands:
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.

Frans Osinga - Special Chair in War Studies, Leiden University - Professor of War Studies, The Netherlands Defence Academy:
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.

General Onno Eichelsheim - Chief of Defence of The Netherlands Armed Forces
For me, it is the most important element that it is reliable, it is trustworthy, and there is no data-bias.

Dr. Agnès Callarmard - SG Amnesty International:
Wars are dirty! Biases are a part of warfare?

Film Actor #1:
So there's a fair chance of data bias.

Film Actor #2:
Yes sir, that is correct.

Prof. Kenneth Payne - Professor of Strategy, King's College London:
In the civilian domain, we are constantly looking to minimize risk.
And war is different. You have to take risks.

Bonnie Jenkins - Undersecretary of State, United States:
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.

General (Ret.) Jörg Vollmer - Chief Advisor Military Affairs, Fraunhofer Institute FKIE:
We have to understand how it can help. But never, ever hand it over to A.I.

Vistor #1:
It's so rare to have such a multi-stakeholder venue where you have people from all across the world and all different disciplines.

Vistor #2:
And to understand each other better, I think is the first best next step for a global approach to A.I. governance.

H.E. Mr. Wopke Hoekstra - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of the Netherlands:
It has been estimated that A.I. is as groundbreaking as nuclear technology.

Prof. Dr. Haroon Sheikh - WRR & VU:
So it's here. It's here to stay.
And we need to think about how to apply it responsibly.

H.E. Mr. Park Jin - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea:
Korea is proud to announce that it will host the second REAIM Summit in Korea, in cooperation with the Netherlands.
