Military and defense organizations using transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning can realize tremendous gains and help to maintain advantages over increasingly capable adversaries and competitors. It can allow autonomous vehicles to go into terrain deemed too dangerous for humans, provide predictive analytics and maintenance to keep large fleets running smoothly and safely, and help to provide autonomous operations in difficult conditions. As the US Department of Defense (DoD) increasingly adopts AI technology in a wide variety of use cases ranging from back-office functions to battlefield operations, there is a realization that despite the benefits that AI can bring, there is also a risk of unintended consequences that could cause significant harm by using these various technologies. As a result, the DoD takes the topics of topics of ethics, transparency, and ethics policy very seriously. A few years ago, the DoD created the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, also referred to as the JAIC, to help figure out how to best move forward with this transformative technology.
