(PRESS RELEASE) DELFT, 13-Feb-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) , the oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands, announces that Jeroen van den Hoven, Stefan Buijsman, and Filippo Santoni De Sio of the TU Delft Digital Ethics Centre will lead the academic forum of the REAIM 2023 conference. The event, hosted by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will take place in The Hague on February 15-16, with a focus on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Military Domain.

REAIM aims to provide a platform to discuss the opportunities and risks of AI, share knowledge and experiences, and ultimately arrive at an agenda leading to international agreements on how this technology can be developed and applied responsibly within the military domain. The TU Delft researchers will organize the academic forum portion of the programme, with the goal of contributing essential knowledge and valuable instruments to promote responsible AI for the military domain.

Delft University of Technology is committed to designing technology that respects values and includes meaningful human control. With decades of research in powerful AI technologies, the institution believes that it is now more important than ever to ensure that these technologies are put into practice in a responsible manner. This is especially crucial in the military domain, where there is great reliance on digital technologies and little margin for error. Value-driven AI design is essential, and current and future military AI applications must be reliable, responsive to human inquiry, and act according to well-represented values such as democracy and inclusivity.

Jeroen van den Hoven, professor in ethics of technology: “There are parts of the world that are not so much interested in human rights, the rule of law, and ethics. This gives us reason to be concerned about the implementation of these values in responsible development and uses of AI.”

An overview of academic research into responsible AI for the military domain is available here.
