| Abstract | "The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for national defence poses important ethical problems that combine ethical risks related to the use of AI--e.g. enabling human wrongdoing; reducing human control; removing human responsibility; devaluing human skills; and eroding human self-determination--with those that follow the use of force in warfare, like respecting of human dignity and the risk of breaching the principles of Just War Theory. Because of the range of possible applications and of the set of ethical risks and opportunities to address, it is difficult to develop a coherent and systemic ethical analysis of AI in defence. The goal of this chapter is to clarify how this book will do so, by outlining the methodology and the scope of the analysis proposed here. Three aspects are crucial to this end: the definition of AI; the methodology of levels of abstraction; and the identification of three categories of use of AI in defence, namely, sustainment and support, adversarial and non-kinetic, and adversarial and kinetic"-- Provided by publisher. |
