Evaluating Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (ETAI) Framework and Guidelines have been launched by Chief of Defense Staff to integrate Trustworthy AI into critical defense operations.
- ETAI is a risk-based assessment framework developed specifically for defense sector.
- Focuses on five broad principles: Reliability and Robustness, Safety and Security, Transparency, Fairness and Privacy.
- Framework further defines a comprehensive set of criteria for evaluating trustworthy AI and offers a structured approach to build and assess trustworthy AI.
How AI is revolutionizing modern warfare?
- Intelligent Weapons Systems: AI is enhancing capabilities of drones and other autonomous systems. E.g. Israeli UAVs Harpy and Harop
- Command and Control: By processing vast amounts of data in real time. E.g. Sarvatra Pehchaan: AI based Intrusion Detection & Integrated Command Station
- Decision-Support Systems: AI-driven decision-support systems can rapidly assess complex battlefield situations, suggesting optimal strategies and responses. E.g Use of Storm drone by Indian army
Concerns with Use of AI:
- Accidental damage: Use of automatically controlled weapons (E.g. Killer Robots) can result in unintended civilians and innocent deaths.
- Legal and Ethical Ambiguity: E.g. in cases of Human rights violations and civilian casualties.
- Other Issues: Cyber security Risks, Lack of reliability, Promoting unrest and conflicts etc.
