Artificial intelligence is about to grow a conscience, thanks to innumerable experts the U.S. Department of Defense hired to study ethics in A.I.
Fifteen months of consultations with academics, scientists and others led to the announcement. “Deliberate steps to minimize unintended bias in A.I. capabilities” are top priorities in the DoD’s work.
“The Defense Department’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, based in Washington, D.C., will implement and coordinate the new policies,” according to UPI.
“The United States, together with our allies and partners, must accelerate the adoption of A.I. and lead in its national security applications to maintain our strategic position, prevail on future battlefields and safeguard the rules-based international order,” Defense secretary Mark Esper said Monday in a statement.
