What does AI in warfare really look like? What are the possible applications, and how will they be used? Who will use them and who will they be used against? This webinar will discuss the future of AI in warfare from a practical standpoint and seeks to make explicit how these weapons will be developed, deployed and used—and by whom. Rather than discussing the development of autonomous weapons in technical or logistical terms, this discussion aims to tease out how autonomous weapons operate within and augment the current geopolitical landscape and what the moral consequences of their deployment might be. We will also discuss what this means for those who work in the field of AI, and what responsibility we all have to ensure that the work we do leads to a more just and equitable future.

The webinar is the first of a longer webinar series hosted by the Artificial Intelligence Institute and Drs.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering invites you to attend a distinguished lecture "From speech AI to finance AI, and back" by Professor Li Deng, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer for Citadel.
