Leaders and officials from Kazakhstan, Jordan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have gathered in Astana for an Aqaba Process summit titled “Artificial Intelligence Security”, Trend.Az reports, citing Kazakhstan’s presidential press service.
Why it mattersThe Aqaba Process, launched by Jordan’s King Abdullah II in 2015, brings together political leaders, security services and international organisations to coordinate responses to security threats. The report gives no specific AI proposals or decisions from the summit, so the title signals the subject, not yet the outcome. AI security has reached a high-level regional forum. The test is whether the gathering produces practical commitments, rather than another polished title on a summit programme.
Discuss: Should governments treat AI security as part of counterterrorism coordination, or does that risk blurring distinct problems and justifying broader controls?
