New Article in Revue Défense Nationale on AI Regulation in the Defense Sector

The Revue Défense Nationale (France) has published the article “Réglementation de l’IA dans le domaine de la défense: Les rôles des pays du Sud Global, de la société civile et des industries de défense”, co-authored by Manuela Le-Fort, Luis Campani Farias, Ana Beatriz Duarte, and Sabrina Medeiros.

The paper examines how Global South countries, civil society organizations, and defense industries interact in shaping emerging frameworks for the governance of artificial intelligence in military contexts. It discusses regulatory asymmetries, technological dependencies, and the growing need for inclusive participation in international security debates on lethal autonomous weapons and defense innovation.

Published in Revue Défense Nationale, France’s leading journal on defense and strategic affairs, the article contributes to a broader reflection on global governance, ethics, and the political economy of AI. It underscores the importance of multi-actor cooperation in ensuring responsible innovation and equitable regulatory standards in the defense sector.

This publication reflects LusoGlobe’s ongoing engagement with international research networks addressing security governance, technology, and the evolving role of the Global South in global defense dialogues.
