Governance of AI in the Military Domain: How Global Practices Shape Norms

Armed forces around the world are developing and using AI technologies for military purposes, including in weapon systems and decision support systems. In the absence of specific, international legal regulations on AI in the military domain, these global practices of developing, training personnel for, and using military systems integrating AI and autonomous technologies are crucial to examine because they have the potential to shape norms on the use of force. This presentation will cover some of these practices (with empirical examples), their normative implications, and potential ways forward in addressing these challenges via governance frameworks. The presentation is based on research conducted as part of the European Research Council funded project AutoNorms.

We are delighted to announce our Guest speakers will be: Dr. Ingvild Bode, Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern Denmark and Director of the Center for War Studies and Dr. Anna Nadibaidze, Researcher for the European Research Council funded AutoNorms and AutoPractices projects based at the Center for War Studies, University of Southern Denmark.

Dinner will be served. Note that access to the HLS campus is limited to HUID holders.
