Realities of Algorithmic Warfare: Use, Impact & Regulation
Advanced militaries are locked in what some call an AI arms race, in which they develop, experiment with and deploy (semi)autonomous technologies across global battlefields. While manufacturers and armed forces promise more effective engagement through increased speed and precision, academic and policy debates focus on the repercussions of machines making life-and-death decisions. This session addresses these topics across three thematic panels focused on the realities of development & deployment, impact, and responsible use of military AI.
Concrete take-aways include a deeper understanding of how and where these systems are being experimented with and deployed, how they change the character of warfare, the civilian cost and an exploration of political control and legal regulation possibilities to ensure responsible deployment and use.
