The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the world will extend far beyond narrow national security applications. Federal officials spoke about moving beyond those narrow AI applications to gain strategic advantage and the importance of justified trust when deploying AI systems on September 27, during a webinar hosted by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
AI systems must be developed and fielded with justified confidence, according to a 2021 report by the National Security Commission on AI (NSCAI). Suppose AI systems do not work as designed or are unpredictable in ways that can have significant negative consequences. In that case, leaders will not adopt them, operators will not use them, Congress will not fund them, and the American people will not support them. As part of the report, the Commission produced a detailed framework highlighting five issue areas and recommendations to guide AI’s responsible development and fielding across the national security community.
“We recognize that establishing justified confidence in AI system is the critical issue in seeing AI systems deployed widespread. And for that, we need robust and reliable AI, testing evaluation verification and validation, we need leadership among the different institutions that will be deploying the AI, we need rules of the road in accountability in governance, and we also need to develop patterns for human and AI interaction and teaming is a very critical point,” Dr. Steve Chien, Commissioner at the NSCAI, said.
