The analytical portal Modern Diplomacy published an article on October 25, 2025, emphasizing the critical need for bilateral cooperation between the US and China in the evaluation and monitoring of military AI. The authors argue that as automation in weapons systems increases, "blind trust" in decision-making algorithms is becoming a serious strategic threat.

The article calls for the creation of joint verification and audit mechanisms to ensure that military AI systems remain predictable and controllable, preventing catastrophic miscalculations.
