Military Medics Trial AI for Battlefield with Dstl

Описание: Scientists from the UK collaborated with the US to test and explore what it would take for medics to delegate high-stakes decisions to AI on the battlefield.

Experts from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) are collaborating with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) by leveraging hardware and methodologies developed under DARPA’s In the Moment (ITM) fundamental research program.

DARPA’s In the Moment (ITM) research program investigates whether the alignment of AI to individual humans affects their willingness to delegate decisions to AI in high-stakes domains. Alignment is encoding AI with human preferences and priorities. AI systems do not naturally align with humans, nor are there methods to quantify individual human decision making, which begs the question of how to align AI to humans. ITM aims to answer how to align with humans and develop technologies to enable such alignment.
