The paper describes the importance of the correct application of standards and protocols for autonomous weapons systems and artificial intelligence in the strategic tasks of NATO countries in the development of a modern defence and security strategy. Particular attention is paid to international humanitarian law, ethical challenges of lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), and cooperation with the UN and the EU regarding global regulation standards. NATO is developing AI certification standards, integrating cutting-edge technologies and control mechanisms to ensure security and compliance with international norms.
