Mad Scientist’s Frameworks (Ethics & Policy) for Autonomy on the Future Battlefield webinar — featuring Dr. Philip Root (Deputy Director, Defense Sciences Office, DARPA), Alka Patel (Head of AI Ethics Policy at Department of Defense, Joint Artificial Intelligence Center), and Shawn Steene (Senior Force Planner for Emerging Technologies, OSD Strategy and Force Development) — will explore the ethical and policy considerations regarding autonomous systems on the future battlefield.

Unmanned robotic and autonomous systems (both individual and swarming) will proliferate across the Operational Environment, presenting a host of opportunities and challenges for the U.S. Army.  Join us in addressing these critical issues now so that the Army can incorporate insights into future force development and structuring.

This event is open to all. No DoD or Military affiliation is required. In order to participate in this virtual event, you must first register [via a non-DoD network] at:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/frameworks-ethics-policy-for-autonomy-on-the-future-battlefield-tickets-137663831225   

Mad Scientist is a U.S. Army initiative and a community of action that continually explores the future through collaborative partnerships and continuous dialogue with academia, industry, and government. Through this initiative, the Army shapes future multi-domain operations in its role as a thought leader in the future of warfare.
