The department\u2019s Director of Emerging Capabilities Policy Michael Horowitz told reporters in a Jan. 25 call that after a decade, the document was due for an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While describing the changes as \u201crelatively minor clarifications and refinements,\u201d he said they offer a level of transparency about the department\u2019s use of autonomy and its processes for making sure the technology is used responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the biggest things that the document now accounts for is the dramatic, expanded vision for the role of artificial intelligence in the future of the American military,\u201d Horowitz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoD is prioritizing AI investments, particularly in light of China\u2019s goal to be the world leader in this area by 2030. The department released its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/07\/15\/pentagon-ai-roadmap-seen-helping-build-warfighter-public-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\">Responsible Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Implementation Pathway<\/a> framework last summer, detailing its plan to mitigate the effect of unintended consequences that could arise as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2023\/01\/10\/air-force-space-force-pursue-ai-readiness-by-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\"> AI plays a greater role in military technologies.<\/a> The document focuses on building trust between human decision-makers and AI systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Horowitz said the update ensures that DoD\u2019s policy for developing systems that incorporate AI is aligned with that strategy and reflects the department\u2019s commitment to developing responsible systems. He noted that the update doesn\u2019t prohibit certain autonomous capabilities, but instead dictates that new systems undergo a comprehensive testing and review process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also directs the creation of an autonomous weapons system working group. Chaired by the undersecretary of defense for policy, the group will advise senior DoD leaders as they consider approving new systems and serve as a resource if issues arise, Horowitz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur belief is that the creation of this working group will facilitate the safe and responsible pursuit of autonomous weapon systems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon&#8217;s director of emerging tech policy said the changes incorporate the Defense Department&#8217;s vision for
