HUMAN values such as virtue should be embedded in military weapons system that are enabled by artificial intelligence, the Bishop of Newcastle, Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, has said.
Dr Hartley spoke in a House of Lords debate last Friday on a report by the Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems Committee: Proceed with Caution: Artificial intelligence in weapon systems. It recommended that human control be built into every stage of the deployment of an autonmous weapons system (AWS), and that there should be a complete ban on AI use in nuclear command and control.
