INDUSTRY NEWS: 47 states have now endorsed the "Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy." This doctrine will be critical in building an international responsibility framework to allow states to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating the risks. Learn more about the ten distinct measures and guidelines that are listed in this initiative; continue reading here: https://ow.ly/QO0S50Qg0aB

https://lnkd.in/gmAb6Mjh The US Air Force Takes Flight with Generative AI! The US Department of the Air Force (DAF) is soaring ahead with a bold initiative called NIPRGPT. This exciting program injects a dose of creativity into their "Dark Saber" software ecosystem by exploring the practical applications of generative AI. What's so inspiring about this? Firstly, it demonstrates a willingness to embrace innovation, even within a traditionally structured organisation like the Air Force. They recognise the potential of AI to not only streamline operations but also unlock entirely new capabilities. Secondly, the focus on real-world testing is crucial. NIPRGPT isn't just about theory – it's about measuring the practical benefits and potential risks of generative AI in a controlled environment. This forward-thinking approach deserves a standing ovation! It serves as a blueprint for governments around the world, including Australia. Just imagine the possibilities – streamlining administrative tasks, enhancing training simulations, or even assisting with strategic planning. The key takeaway? Don't be afraid to experiment! The responsible exploration of AI can lead to groundbreaking advancements across all sectors. Here's to hoping Australia follows suit and embraces the potential of AI for good! #GenerativeAI #Innovation #FutureofDefense

Last day of #ISA2024. Speaking this morning on "Predicting Commercial and Military Adoption of #EmergingTechnologies: #Brain-Computer Interface (#BCIs) on panel, SA46: #AI, #Quantum, and Human-Machine Interfaces in #InternationalRelations.

#AI and #Autonomy policy - “This dialogue will examine the state of the DOD policy towards AI and autonomy, including the role of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in designing the future force and the connection between emerging technologies and defense planning in DOD policy. The discussion will also explore how the DOD approaches engaging with allies and partners on AI and autonomy policy, including the Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy.”

What will be the impact of AI on international peace and security? From digital/data sovereignty questions, to the weaponization of synthetic/deep fake media and comms, to the integration of AI applications in national defense, military doctrine and production of autonomous lethal weapons. All these suggest that perhaps the challenges might outweigh the opportunities, from the perspective of world peace and security. I am looking forward to engaging leaders from various domains and industries at 2023 NY AI Summit in NYC this week. I will be bringing the story of Bonsai, as we learn together and grapple with the known and unknown implications of AI technologies for international peace and security. Bonsai operates at these intersections, because world peace is the most fundamental global public good. #aisummit2023 #peaceandsecurity #publicgood https://lnkd.in/ecnWAKfG

The technology revolution, including #AI, presents many challenges—but the potential benefits for the public sector in the years to come are immense. Tune into U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. David W. Abba's session from the Red Hat Government Symposium and discover how to navigate and harness the power of disruption for the greater good.

A recent political declaration signed by nearly all 50 states builds on the efforts of the U.S. to be a global leader in responsibly military use of #AI and autonomous systems. The declaration’s 10 guiding measures are an important step in building an international framework to allow states to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating the risks. Learn what those 10 measures are here.

#AI is rapidly transforming our world, from the way we work to the way we interact with machines. But with this immense power comes immense responsibility. As AI becomes more sophisticated, so too do the potential security risks. Panelists from Army Futures Command, DoD's Chief Digital and AI Office, Google, and ECS will join Thales TCT's CTO Bill Becker to discuss the critical issues at the intersection of AI and security. https://lnkd.in/dcqNa934
