This article examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military sector and the associated political challenges. It describes the current applications of AI in data analysis, process optimization, decision-making, reconnaissance, as well as cyber and communication security. Additionally, the future use of autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) and swarm technologies is discussed. A central point is the lack of international regulation and the differing positions of organizations such as the United Nations, NATO, the European Union, and individual countries like the USA, China, and Russia. The text emphasizes the need for a new initiative, the Strategic Military AI Regulation Talks (SMART), to achieve a global, dynamic, and transparent regulation. This initiative aims to establish clear definitions, operational scenarios, and responsibilities, and to involve as many countries as possible. SMART aims to regulate the proliferation and use of LAWS and to uphold ethical principles by ensuring human control over lethal decisions. The initiative is to be supported by practical simulations and international cooperation to effectively address the challenges and risks of AI in the military context.
