Exporting U.S. Military AI Won’t Be Easy

Foreign Policy | Jake Steckler

The United States faces significant challenges in exporting its military artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The difficulty stems from two primary factors: middle powers, who are potential recipients, possess alternative options for acquiring military AI, suggesting a competitive market or diverse supply chains. Additionally, AI laboratories, likely referring to the developers and researchers of these advanced technologies, hold distinct opinions that may complicate or oppose the U.S.

government's export initiatives. These factors collectively indicate that the U.S. strategy for disseminating military AI will encounter substantial hurdles, potentially impacting its global technological influence and defense partnerships.
