AI Safety Navy Action Plan

/reports/2019/10/ai-safety-navy-action-plan

In light of the Navy’s stated commitment to using AI, and given the strategic importance of AI safety, we provide the Navy with a first step towards a comprehensive approach to safety. We use a risk management approach to frame our treatment of AI safety risks: identifying risks, analyzing them, and suggesting concrete actions for the Navy to begin addressing them. The first type of safety risk, being technical in nature, will require a collaborative effort with industry and academia to address. The second type of risk, associated with specific military missions, can be addressed in a combination of military experimentation, research, and concept development to find ways to promote effectiveness along with safety. For each types of risk, we use examples to show concrete ways of managing and reducing the risk of AI applications. We then discuss institutional changes that would help promote safety in the Navy’s AI efforts.

in the DOD AI strategy, with one of the four lines of effort being AI ethics and safety. That said, in current DOD AI efforts and in public discourse about DOD AI applications, safety can appear to be the forgotten stepchild of ethics. Ethics as a term is used to cover the broad set of concerns regarding military use of AI. The DOD’s Defense Innovation Board is developing a set of ethical ... be consistent with American values and principles. While there is a strong focus on ethics, issues of AI safety—including negative operational outcomes such as civilian casualties, fratricide
