The Role of Military AI and the Resort to Force - Discussing Crucial Questions in a Copenhagen Conference
In war zones of the world Artificial Intelligence already guides drones, is used in target selection, intelligence and surveillance, just to name a few examples. But how can AI affect decisions by political and military leaders to use military force in the first place? In this episode I continue to focus on the conference "Military AI and the Resort to Force" in Copenhagen on 27 February which brought together legal academics, ethicists, members of the military, IR scholars and the wider public. Speakers and guests discussed the potential impact of autonomous weapons and AI-based decision support systems on the interstate use of force. The conference was organized by the Centre for Military Studies at the University of Copenhagen and in the episode I interview four speakers on crucial questions we face in this area. Those distinguished scholars are Elke Schwartz, Alexander Blanchard, Jessica Dorsey and Brianna Rosen.
