Possible Questions
- How should we think about meaningful human control with respect to AI weapons systems?
- What methods are available to ensure that AI systems will perform robustly to settings which might be different to those in which they’ve been trained? What testing systems will be needed to evaluate the performance of AI systems?
- How concerned should we be about potential tampering with training data? What negative consequences could ensue, and how could these be mitigated or prevented?
- What procedures are needed to ensure AI-enabled weapons systems will be responsibly designed and lawfully used?
