Ethical Use of AI in Warefare

Brought to my attention.  Intriguing comment on what is right, ethical and fair in war,  now that we will soon have AI participating.  But I note that these are broad principles rather than specifics.  We have yet to well define such ethical specifics even for civilian use.   Well worth looking at.

Pentagon Advisory Board Releases Principles for Ethical Use of AI in Warfare  in The Washington Post  By Aaron Gregg

The U.S. Defense Innovation Board has published a set of ethical principles for how military agencis should design weapons enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and apply them on the battlefield. However, the board's recommendations are not legally binding, and it is now up to the Pentagon to determine how and whether to proceed with them. The recommendations pertained mostly to broadly defined goals such as "formalizing these principles" or "cultivating the field of AI engineering." Other recommendations included setting up a steering committee or a set of workforce training programs. The document specified that AI systems should be equitable, traceable, reliable, and governable.es Principles for Ethical Use of AI in Warfare
