This webinar will feature three subject matter experts: Dr. Philip Root (Deputy Director, Defense Sciences Office, DARPA), Alka Patel (Head of AI Ethics Policy at Department of Defense, Joint Artificial Intelligence Center), and Shawn Steene (Senior Force Planner for Emerging Technologies, OSD Strategy and Force Development). This event will help us explore ethical and policy considerations regarding autonomy on the future battlefield. Unmanned robotic and autonomous systems (swarming and independent) will proliferate the future operational environment presenting a host of opportunities and challenges for the future Army. It is paramount for us to explore these critical issues now to incorporate insights into future force development and structuring.

These panelists will discuss their observations of policy and ethical implications in autonomy and will be answering questions as well.
