AI Safety Navy Action Plan

/analyses/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.

. History is replete with examples of technology being leveraged for military advantage. The chariot, the crossbow, gunpowder, and nuclear weapons all brought revolutionary effects to the battlefield ... requirements, performing test and evaluation processes, and conducting legal reviews to ensure that weapons comply with international law.

Using Unmanned Systems for Safety and Security

/quick-looks/2022/using-unmanned-systems-for-safety-and-security

The rapid proliferation of unmanned systems designed for air, land, and water (represented by the term "UxS") ranges from low-end commercial platforms suitable for hobbyists to high-end platforms appropriate for jurisdictional and organizational use. Public safety and security professionals can leverage these diverse and powerful systems for meeting their public safety and security objectives – and are already doing so in missions such as firefighting, special event security, law enforcement, and patrol via air, land, and water. However, CNA believes that long before an organization begins to explore specific systems, it should begin with analysis and generation of requirements.

organizations (including the military). From assessing the readiness of specialized teams (such as Bomb Squads, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Teams) to evaluating the costs and benefits of employing UxS to support installation security at US Navy installations’, CNA tailors analyses to meet the need of its sponsors.
