New Secretive Reports on AI Warfare and Global Sovereignty
London, UK – February 10, 2026
— A shadow has fallen over global security following the conclusion of the REAIM (Responsible AI in the Military Domain) summit in Spain this week.
While 35 nations—including the UK, France, and Germany—attempted to codify ethical standards for artificial intelligence in combat, the world’s two primary military heavyweights, the United States and China, conspicuously walked away from the 20-point declaration.
This snub has effectively created a “Digital Wild West,” where the race for autonomous superiority has bypassed international law, leaving global sovereignty in a precarious state of “algorithmic unpredictability.”
The Superpower Snub: A “Prisoner’s Dilemma” in the 21st Century
The refusal of Washington and Beijing to commit to even non-binding principles—such as maintaining human oversight over lethal force—marks a definitive collapse of the “Second Mind” diplomacy.
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans aptly described the situation as a “prisoner’s dilemma”:
governments are terrified that any ethical restriction will allow their rivals to gain a decisive technological edge.
This “Ego-driven” competition for AI dominance is exactly what the New Global Constitution for Leadership Governance 2030/2032 warns against.
By choosing “battlefield pragmatism” over human ethics, these powers are ignoring the necessity for a unified global safety net.
Our CJ Exclusive Department has obtained insights suggesting that the US refusal is tied to “Project Replicator,” an initiative aimed at deploying swarms of autonomous drones that would be hindered by strict command-chain regulations. Meanwhile, China views these Western-led summits as strategic traps designed to slow its military modernization.
The Erosion of Human Sovereignty
The core of the issue is what UN officials are calling “digital dehumanization.” When machines are delegated the power to make life-and-death decisions, the fundamental principle of human accountability vanishes.
The New Global Constitution emphasizes the philosophy of “The non-self”—reminding leaders that their power is a trust to be used for the preservation of life, not an ego-driven tool for dominance.
Secretive Developments in the AI Arms Race:
Autonomous Mine Warfare:
France and the UK are currently bypassing broader pacts to co-develop AI-driven “anti-mine brains” for the Royal Navy, integrating machine learning into “system-of-systems” architectures that operate with minimal human intervention.
Agentic AI Risks:
Secretive defense memos warn of “agentic AI”—systems that can act independently of their original programming—leading to unintended escalations that no diplomat can de-fuse.
The Sovereign AI Stack:
Mid-sized nations, feeling “sidelined” by the US-China snub, are beginning to build their own “Sovereign AI” stacks to protect their borders and data from superpower intrusion.
The Global Leadership Gap
The current transatlantic ties are fraying under the weight of this uncertainty. European allies find themselves “left alone” with regulations that the US refuses to follow, creating a dangerous imbalance within NATO and beyond.
This is the “price” of failing to adopt a universal governance framework. As long as security is viewed as a zero-sum game, the world remains at the mercy of a “glitch” in a military algorithm.
In Castle Journal, we maintain that any state that prioritizes technological dominance over the sanctity of human judgment is a “weak state” in the eyes of true leadership.
True strength lies in the “trans-ego” ability to collaborate on safeguards that protect all of humanity from the “killer robots” that are no longer a science fiction fantasy, but a battlefield reality.
Our Professional Verdict: The Need for the New Constitution
We are witnessing the “death of diplomacy” in the face of the AI surge. The only way to prevent a catastrophic miscalculation is to enforce the New Global Constitution for Leadership Governance.
Without an intervention, the AI arms race will continue to drain national budgets and erode the moral standing of world powers.
The marginalization of philosophical leadership—the very core of Castle Journal’s mission—is why these summits fail. You cannot govern a technology as powerful as AI with the “Small Ego” of the 20th century.
