Senior Researcher Branka Marijan will participate in a cross-disciplinary workshop fostering an open and inclusive discussion on the challenges posed by AI applications for military purposes.

This workshop aims to bridge the gap between the AI research community and experts in military AI regulations. Given the growing interest of military agencies in adopting AI technologies, we share raising concerns about associated harms and risks posed with respect to human rights and global security. Our goal is to promote an inclusive and multidisciplinary discussion on these challenging questions, working together to identify collective responses to them.

Invited speakers will introduce the audience to the topics of AI capabilities in the military, AI arms races and their risks, challenges in military AI regulations as well as humanitarian implications of emerging military technologies. Multifaceted panel discussions will bring together distinguished experts from the fields of AI, governance, humanitarian disarmament, game theory, as well as military experts to discuss together challenges, potential mitigation strategies, and the role of AI researchers in AI militarization and disarmament.
