I started reading France's new military #AI strategy yesterday. The thread is here:
As this thread was getting a bit too long, I am starting a new one on the recommendations part. [1]

We are now in the "Feuille de route" bit. Which starts with ethics. [2] 
The strategy affirms #France's position in the lethal autonomous weapons debate (#killerrobots): "France does not intend to develop fully autonomous systems that totally escape human control." [3]
The strategy announces the formation (in 2019) of a new, permanent, ministerial ethics committee, made up by experts whose advise to the minister will be, mostly, public. [4]
France also wants to be involved in international norms-making. This bit seems a bit vague to me, but yeah, norms are hard from both a technical and a political point of view. In any case, France seems already doing work on this 👇 [5]
Now there is a pretty long section on data, focused on how to gather it, store it, etc. This is very much in line with the French national #AI strategy (available here: aiforhumanity.fr/pdfs/MissionVi…) [6]
