A ‘journey to trust?’ Machine learning, faith, and the discourse of ‘trusted’ autonomous systems
While societal trust is eroding, military power is consolidating itself in the desire to perfect AI-enabled technology with the view towards greater ‘trusted’ autonomy. Much of the international community agrees that autonomous weapons systems must be trusted, should they satisfy ethical and legal requirements. To this end, numerous AI ethics and legal principles have been drafted to help assure autonomous systems development. However, drawing on…
Autonomous military systems beyond human control
The question of human control is a key concern in autonomous military systems debates. Our research qualitatively and quantitatively investigates values and concerns of the general public, as they relate to autonomous military systems, with particular attention to the value of human control. Using participatory value evaluation (PVE), we consulted 1980 Australians about which values matter in relation to two specific technologies: an autonomous m…
A values-based approach to designing military autonomous systems
Our research is a value sensitive based approach to designing autonomous systems in a military context. Value sensitive design is an iterative process of conceptual, empirical and technical considerations. We enhance value sensitive design with Participatory Value Evaluation. This allows us to mine values of a large unorganized stakeholder group relevant to our context of research, namely Australian citizens. We found that value prioritizations d…
Value Sensitive Design for autonomous weapon systems – a primer
Value Sensitive Design (VSD) is a design methodology developed by Batya Friedman and Peter Kahn (2003) that brings in moral deliberations in an early stage of a design process. It assumes that neither technology itself is value neutral, nor shifts the value-ladennes to the sole usage of technology. This paper adds to emerging literature onVSD for autonomous weapons systems development and discusses extant literature on values in autonomous system…
Agent-Based Modelling of Values
We have used value sensitive design as a method to develop an agent-based model of values in humanitarian logistics for refugees. Schwartz’s theory of universal values is implemented in the model in such a\nway that agents can make value trade-o s, which are operationalized into a measure of refugee wellbeing and\na measure of public opinion about how the refugee logistics is being handled. By trying out di erent ‘valuescenarios’, stakeholders wh…
Extending the Theory of Normative Practices
The theory of normative practices has proven to be helpful in eliciting the normative dimension of social practices. In this article we apply the theory to military practice. Since current military missions are Network Enabled Operations, which mandate a strong focus on cooperation with other military and non-military partners, an additional framework is needed to understand actual problems in such missions. We have extended the theory of normati…
