DELFT — Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is set to lead the academic forum of the REAIM 2023 conference, with a primary focus on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Military Domain. Renowned researchers Jeroen van den Hoven, Stefan Buijsman, and Filippo Santoni De Sio from the TU Delft Digital Ethics Centre will spearhead the event, scheduled to take place in The Hague on February 15-16, according to a press release published on EuropaWire.

REAIM 2023 aims to foster discussions surrounding the opportunities and challenges presented by AI in the military domain, facilitating knowledge sharing and ultimately paving the way for international agreements on responsible AI development and application. TU Delft’s participation underscores its dedication to developing AI technology that upholds human values and ensures meaningful human control, particularly in critical sectors like defense where precision and reliability are paramount.

With decades of expertise in AI research, TU Delft emphasizes the importance of value-driven AI design to uphold democratic principles and inclusivity. In a statement, Jeroen van den Hoven, professor in ethics of technology, expressed concerns regarding the implementation of ethical values in AI development, particularly in regions where such values may not be prioritized.

The academic forum led by TU Delft aims to contribute vital insights and instruments to promote responsible AI deployment in the military domain. As the global discourse on AI ethics intensifies, TU Delft remains at the forefront, advocating for the integration of ethical considerations into AI development and deployment processes.
