The AI Commander by
What does AI mean for the role of humans in war? The AI Commander addresses the largely neglected question of how the fusion of machines into the war machine will affect the human condition of warfare. James Johnson emphasizes the "mind" - both human and machine - and the mechanisms of thought (intelligence, consciousness, emotion, memory, experience, etc.) to consider the effects of AI and autonomy on the human condition of war. Johnson investigates the vexing and misunderstood - and at times contradictory - ethical, moral, and normative implications, whether incremental, transformative, or revolutionary, of synthesizing man and machine in future algorithmic warfare - or AI-enabled centaur warfighting. At the heart of these vexing questions are whether we are inevitably moving toward a situation in which AI-enabled autonomous weapons will make strategic decisions in place of humans and thus become the owners of those decisions. Can AI-powered systems replace human commanders? And, more importantly, should they? The AI Commander argues that AI cannot be merely passive and neutral force multipliers of human cognition. Instead, they will likely become - either by conscious choice or inadvertently - strategic actors in war. AI will transform the role and nature of human warfare, but not necessarily in the ways most observers expect.

The Political Philosophy of AI : An Introduction by
Political issues people care about such as racism, climate change, and democracy take on new urgency and meaning in the light of technological developments such as AI. How can we talk about the politics of AI while moving beyond mere warnings and easy accusations ? This is the first accessible introduction to the political challenges related to AI. Using political philosophy as a unique lends through which to explore key debates in the area, the book shows how various political issues are already impacted by emerging AI technologies : from justice and discrimination to democracy and surveillance. Revealing the inherently political nature of technology, it offers a rich conceptual toolbox that can guide efforts to deal with the challenges raised by what turns out to be not only artificial intelligence but also artificial power.
AI for Digital Warfare by
This book explores how the weaponising of artificial intelligence can and will change how warfare is being conducted, and what impact it will have on the corporate world. With artificial intelligence tools becoming increasingly advanced, and in many cases more humanlike, their potential in psychological warfare is being recognised, which means digital warfare can move beyond just shutting down IT systems into more all-encompassing hybrid war strategies.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence Systems in Intelligence Analysis by
Rand Corporation (US)
The U.S. military and intelligence community have shown interest in developing and deploying artificial intelligence (AI) systems to support intelligence analysis, both as an opportunity to leverage new technology and as a solution for an ever-proliferating data glut. However, deploying AI systems in a national security context requires the ability to measure how well those systems will perform in the context of their mission. To address this issue, the authors begin by introducing a taxonomy of the roles that AI systems can play in supporting intelligence - namely, automated analysis, collection support, evaluation support, and information prioritization - and provide qualitative analyses of the drivers of the impact of system performance for each of these categories. The authors then single out information prioritization systems, which direct intelligence analysts' attention to useful information and allow them to pass over information that is not useful to them, for quantitative analysis. Developing a simple mathematical model that captures the consequences of errors on the part of such systems, the authors show that their efficacy depends not just on the properties of the system but also on how the system is used. Through this exercise, the authors show how both the calculated impact of an AI system and the metrics used to predict it can be used to characterize the system's performance in a way that can help decisionmakers understand its actual value to the intelligence mission.
The Age of AI and Our Human Future by
The age of AI is upon us. Three leading thinkers have come together to consider what it means - and they have concluded that it is changing nearly everything about how humans navigate the world.

Atlas of AI : Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet ? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies ? Drawing on more than a decade of research, the author reveals how AI is a technology of extraction : from the minerals drawn from the earth, to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers, to the data taken from every action and expression. This book reveals how this planetary network is fuelling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, the author offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.
The Centaur's Dilemma : National Security Law for the Coming AI Revolution by
The increasing use of artificial intelligence poses challenges and opportunities for nearly all aspects of society, including the military and other elements of the national security establishment. This book addresses how national security law can and should be applied to artificial intelligence, which enables a wide range of decisions and actions not contemplated by current law. The author adopts a realistic approach in assessing how the law - even when not directly addressing artificial intelligence - can be used, or even misused, to regulate this new technology. This book covers, among other topics, national security process, constitutional law, the law of armed conflict, arms control, and academics and corporate ethics.

I, Warbot : The Dawn of Artifically Intelligent Conflict by
Artificial intelligence is going to war. Intelligent military systems are already reshaping conflict - from the chaos of battle, with pilotless drones and robot tanks, to the headquarters far from the action, where generals and politicians use technology to weigh up what to do. AI changes how we fight, and even how likely it is that we will. Warbots will be faster, more agile and more deadly than today's crewed weapons. New tactics are already emerging, but much deeper thinking is needed. When will an intelligent machine escalate, and how might you deter it ? Can robots predict the future ? And what happens to the 'art of war' as machines become creative ? An international campaign against 'killer robots' hopes to ban AI from conflict. But the genie is out - autonomous weapons are too useful for states to outlaw. Still, crafting sensible rules for our warbots is possible. This book shows how it might be done.
The Myth of Artificial Intelligence : Why Computers Can't Think the Way We Do by
Futurists are certain that humanlike AI is on the horizon, but in fact engineers have no idea how to program human reasoning. AI reasons from statistical correlations across data sets, while common sense is based heavily on conjecture. The author argues that hyping existing methods will only hold us back from developing truly humanlike AI.
NATO Decision-Making in the Age of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence by
Istituto Affari Internazionali (IT)
Digital revolution has substantially transformed the world we live in, providing great opportunities but also making societies more vulnerable. Technology makes external interferences cheaper, faster and all-encompassing : citizens can potentially become direct targets of information warfare, all members of a society can be part of conflicts one way or another. From advanced weaponry to command and control, most security-related domains are undergoing deep transformations as data availability and transmission increase exponentially. In this context, three broad, interconnected aspects are explored through this publication with a view to NATO future evolution. First, the organizational challenges posed by Big Data for the Alliance, which has to adapt in order to fully exploit their potentialities but also mitigate the risks they entail. Second, the hybrid threats to Allies’ decision-making through the cyberspace, whereby for instance artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data enable more effective information warfare by hostile actors. Third, the adoption of AI in the defence domain is crucial, from equipment to procedures, and NATO can play a positive role in this regard also concerning the dialogue with private companies.
Advanced Introduction to Law and Artificial intelligence by

Key features include : a critical insight into human rights and constitutional law issues which may be affected by the use of AI; discussion of the concept of legal personhood and how the law might respond as AI evolves in intelligence.; an introduction to current laws and statutes which apply to AI and an identification of the areas where future challenges to the law may arise.
AI Ethics by
An accessible synthesis of ethical issues raised by artificial intelligence that moves beyond hype and nightmare scenarios to address concrete questions. Artificial intelligence powers Google's search engine, enables Facebook to target advertising, and allows Alexa and Siri to do their jobs. AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues. It goes beyond the usual hype and nightmare scenarios to address concrete questions. The author describes influential AI narratives, ranging from Frankenstein's monster to transhumanism and the technological singularity. He surveys relevant philosophical discussions : questions about the fundamental differences between humans and machines and debates over the moral status of AI. He explains the technology of AI, describing different approaches and focusing on machine learning and data science. He offers an overview of important ethical issues, including privacy concerns, responsibility and the delegation of decision making, transparency, and bias as it arises at all stages of data science processes. He also considers the future of work in an AI economy. Finally, he analyzes a range of policy proposals and discusses challenges for policymakers. He argues for ethical practices that embed values in design, translate democratic values into practices and include a vision of the good life and the good society.

Possible Minds : Twenty-Five Ways of Looking at AI by
Artificial intelligence is today's story - the story behind all other stories. It is the Second Coming and the Apocalypse at the same time : good AI versus evil AI.
Rebooting AI : Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust by
Despite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. The authors argue we are not on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narrow to achieve genuine intelligence. The real world, in contrast, is wildly complex and open-ended. How can we bridge this gap ? What will the consequences be when we do ? Taking inspiration from the human mind, the authors explain what we need to advance AI to the next level, and suggest that if we are wise along the way, we won't need to worry about a future of machine overlords. If we focus on endowing machines with common sense and deep understanding, rather than simply focusing on statistical analysis and gathering ever larger collections of data, we will be able to create an AI we can trust.
Robot Rules : Regulating Artificial Intelligence by
This book explains why AI is unique, what legal and ethical problems it could cause, and how we can address them. It argues that AI is unlike any other previous technology, owing to its ability to take decisions independently and unpredictably. This gives rise to three issues : responsibility - who is liable if AI causes harm; rights - the disputed moral and pragmatic grounds for granting AI legal personality; and the ethics surrounding the decision-making of AI. The book suggests that in order to address these questions we need to develop new institutions and regulations on a cross-industry and international level.
Prediction Machines : The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence by
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible, magically bringing machines to life - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know ? In the face of such uncertainty, many analysts cower in fear or predict an impossibly sunny future. In this book, the authors recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Strategy, Evolution, and War : From Apes to Artificial Intelligence by
This book is about the psychological and biological bases of strategy making in war as they have evolved in humans over our history as a species. The book is also a cautionary preview of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will revolutionize strategy more than any development in the last three thousand years of military history. Machines will make important decisions about war on both sides, and they may do so without input from humans. The author describes strategy as an evolved package of conscious and unconscious behaviors with roots in our primate ancestry. Human-made strategy is influenced by emotion as well as reason, with both positive and negative results. The strategic implications of AI are profound because they depart radically from the biological basis of human intelligence. Rather than being just another tool of war, AI will exponentially speed up decisionmaking, make choices humans might not make, and force faster actions and reactions. This book is a fascinating examination of the psychology of strategy-making from prehistoric times, through the ancient world, and into the modern age. It also offers a concerning preview of a future when humans cede at least some control over their destiny.
