The U.S. State Department unveiled a new declaration Thursday regarding artificial intelligence and autonomous weapons, in the hopes that other nations will sign on.

The updated DOD Directive 3000.09, “Autonomy in Weapon Systems,” went into effect Wednesday.

DOD officials will be focusing on outdated review processes and accounting for new artificial intelligence initiatives.

A lot has changed since the release of DOD Directive 3000.09, so now, senior officials are considering updates to better suit modern capabilities.

The Air Force is asking Congress for more than $100 million in additional R&D funding for autonomous drones and networked weapon systems.
