Case Study: A Method for Ethical AI in Defence Applied to an Envisioned Tactical Command and Control System

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in a defence context poses significant ethical questions and risks. Defence will need to address these as AI systems are developed and deployed in order to maintain the reputation of the ADF, uphold Australia's domestic and international legal obligations, and support the development of an international AI regime based on liberal democratic values.

Modelling Human Attributes in Autonomous Systems Operations

Unmanned Systems (UMS) have the potential to provide significant benefits when used in military operations that are dangerous, dirty, and/or dull; the principal benefit cited in a variety of literature is of reducing the risk of human casualties.
