The Human Choices of Artificial Intelligence at War

PRIO Project leader Gregory Reichberg and project member Prof. Shannon E. French talk about the past, present, and future of AI in this episode.

When we imagine artificial intelligence in warfare, we might think of films like Blade Runner and its replicants, or Terminator’s Skynet. But in reality, some artificial intelligence usage is already occurring, and contrary to the films, we should be more concerned about the humans involved. The "Warring with Machines” project at PRIO focuses on the people who serve in combat settings with AI-enabled machines. The project aims to yield moral guidelines for AI technology use in three settings: kinetic (physical) combat operations, cyber operations, and strategic planning.
