I welcome this move, but even if it's successful we need to look at the risks beyond AI developed purely for weaponry, and look also to general purpose AI, which carries the same risks.
If we develop AI that is smart enough to learn how to navigate terrain like a human, this AI weapons arms race can start again. Even if the purpose of the AI isn't specifically for the military, if it's flexible enough to be turned to this end, the chances of it being used for this purpose are quite high.
The most effective way to combat this problem is to do away with the need for a military in the first place, however that's a much harder problem to tackle. The only way it could be done is with education and a huge reduction in arms production on a global scale.
