SUMMARY:Deep Dive Workshop - AI in Warfare: Actions\, Policies and Practices
DESCRIPTION:Global AI Policy Summit Deep Dive Workshop\nAI in Warfare: Actions\, Policies and PracticesArtificial Intelligence (AI)\, Big Data analytics\, and Automated Decision Making (ADM) are increasingly being used for surveillance\, targeting\, and autonomous or semiautonomous drone warfare\, in addition to proliferating misinformation on social media during war and conflicts. Conversely\, related technologies are also leveraged for investigation of human rights violations e.g. as done by members of Forensic Architecture\, Interpret\, Airwars and Bellingcat. Meanwhile\, campaigns such as Stop Killer Robots are working through the UN and other forums towards an international ban on\, at minimum\, Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS).  \nHow should researchers\, scholars\, government actors and civil society engage and act critically to highlight\, investigate\, and prevent the use of AI-based systems in perpetuating human rights violations in and out of warfare and devise critical policies and practices that mitigate harms to society today? \nThe current AI Act has many exceptions to the use of AI for policing\, surveillance and military applications\, while there are hardly any enforceable provisions related to use of EU technologies globally that violate human rights. This workshop engages inside and critical perspectives from military officers\, AI researchers and scholars in International Humanitarian Law (IHL)\, human rights activists\, Members of Parliament\, and NGOs\, dealing with these concerns. We will examine these aspects in the context of ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine\, among others globally\, from the role of AI for spreading misinformation in war\, to autonomous warfare\, and civic / human rights violations. Our aim is to encourage inter-disciplinary and critical theorizing on what policies\, regulations and practices are urgently needed to address these emerging concerns\, while developing an action agenda for future research\, concrete policy proposal work\, and pragmatic societal outcomes. \nWorkshop Programme This workshop takes places in the “Panorama @Mondai”\n09.30 – 09.40 Opening & Key Themes Presented by Nitin Sawhney & Petter Ericson\n09.40 – 11.00 Panel Presentations by Panellists + Q&A and Discussions\n11.00 – 11.10 Short Break\n11.10 – 11.30 Form Participant groups led by Invited Experts + Intros & Perspectives\n11.30 – 12.15 Workshop Deliberations and Formulating Key Outcomes\n12.15 – 12.30 Wrap-Up & Next Steps \nExpert Panellists \nVirginia Dignum\, Professor in Responsible Artificial Intelligence and Director of the AI Policy Lab\, Umeå University and Member of UN High Level Advisory Body on AI\n\nMartine Jaarsma\, Doctoral Researcher\, International Humanitarian Law\, Military uses of AI and Critical Legal Studies\, Department of Political Science\, University of Antwerp\nMegan Karlshoej-Pedersen\, Policy Specialist at Airwars (presenting online)\nRainer Rehak\, Research Associate\, Weizenbaum Institute\nIlse Verdiesen\, Research Fellow\, National Defense Academy (NLDA)\, Chief of Staff Joint IV Commando (Col)\nTaylor Kate Woodcock LL.M.\, PhD Researcher in Public International Law\, Asser Institute\n\nWorkshop Outcomes \nImplications for Policy Research Agenda\nBarriers and obstacles to enforcing / moderating use of AI in warfare – conventions\, regulations and international treaties?
