SUMMARY:Designing and Developing Ethically Aligned Defence AI
DESCRIPTION:Mondai | House of AI is pleased to host the\nDesigning and Developing Ethically Aligned Defence AI Conference\norganised by the ELSA Defense Lab\, in collaboration with the TU Delft Digital Ethics CentreAdvances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling military systems to operate in environments where uncertainty\, adversarial dynamics\, and time-critical decision-making are the norm rather than the exception. In such contexts\, ethical design cannot rely solely on predictable scenarios\, assumptions of human oversight\, or static rule-based constraints; rather\, it requires careful and substantial ethical programming and design to ensure that AI-enabled systems behave in alignment with moral and legal principles throughout their operational lifecycle. \nThis conference explores how ethically aligned military AI can be conceived\, designed\, and developed for deployment in uncertain\, adversarial\, and time-critical environments. Across two days\, contributors examine normative and methodological foundations related to the embedding of moral and ethical constraints during the early stages of the lifecycle of military AI systems. \nConference ProgrammeDay 1 – May 6 08.30 – 09.00 Walk in and Registration\n09.15 – 09.30 Welcoming Remarks \n09.30 – 10.15 From Principles to Practice: An Actionable Value-Based Risk Governance Dashboard for Defense AI by Jasper van der Waa\, Lotte Kerkkamp-de Rijcke and Birgit van der Stigchel (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research-TNO)\n10.15 – 11.00 Ethical Hazard Assessment: A Functional Approach to Assess Machine Learning Risks in Airborne Weapon Systems by Hauke Budig (Hamburg University of Technology)\, Volker Gollnick (Hamburg University of Technology)\, Nathan Gabriel Wood (Hamburg University of Technology / California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo /Center for Environmental and Technology Ethics – Prague) and Scott Robbins (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) \n11.00 – 11.30 Break \n11.30 – 12.15 Meeting the Moral Responsibilities Associated with Dual-Use AI Through Three Practical Solutions by Daniel Trusilo (University of St. Gallen) and David Danks (University of Virginia)\n12.15 – 13.00 The Disinformation Bomb: Generative AI\, Deepfake Detection\, and the Industrialization of Deception by Mark Evenblij (DuckDuckGoose) \n13.00 – 14.00 Lunch Break \n14.00 – 14.45 Designing Responsible AI for Cognitive Warfare by Jurriaan van Diggelen\, Aletta Eikelboom\, Neill Bo Finlayson\, Jose Kerstholt\, Kimberley Kruijver (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research-TNO)\n14.45 – 15.30 Rights-Preserving Framework to Bot Detection in AI-Enabled Cognitive Warfare by Henning Lahmann (Leiden University) and Perica Jovchevski (Delft University of Technology) \n15.30 – 16.00 Break \n16.00 – 17.30 Keynote Lecture: Military AI\, Transdisciplinarity and the Politics of Design by Filippo Santoni de Sio (Eindhoven University of Technology) \nDay 2 – May 7 09.00 – 09.30 Walk in \n09.30 – 10.15 AI-Enabled Decision-Support Systems and the In Bello Trilemma: Recalibrating Feasible Precaution in Armed Conflict by Ann-Katrien Oimann (Tilburg University)\n10.15 – 11.00 Automated Adversariality: LLMs\, Objectivity\, and Autonomy in Intelligence Analysis by Nicholas Johnston (Delft University of Technology/ Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research-TNO) and Martin Sand (Delft University of Technology) \n11.00 – 11.30 Break \n11.30 – 12.15 Sabotage and Espionage in Grey Zone Warfare: Responsible Data Integrated Threat Assessment of Shadow Fleet Activities by Liselotte Polderman-Borst (Leiden University / Delft University of Technology / Netherlands Defense Academy) and Stefan Buijsman (Delft University of Technology)\n12.15 – 13.00 Encoded Values: Tradeoffs in Programing Language and Development Methods for Military Software by Joshua S.
