MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. The West actively uses information and communication technologies and proxy war methods in geopolitical rivalry, Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov said at the international collective security forum.
"Information and communication technologies are actively used to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states," the CSTO chief said. "In this situation, proxy war methods used in geopolitical rivalry are supplemented by traditional and new security challenges and threats."
As the CSTO head pointed out, "a new arms race has embraced the use of artificial intelligence in the military field, including in lethal autonomous systems."
"The legal vacuum in this sphere, the absence of any international legal instruments regulating the use of such systems are fraught with the danger of the expansion of conflict situations. A special danger is posed by the potential access that international terrorist organizations and transnational criminal groups might gain to the latest technologies," he stressed.
