According to Jovana Davidovic, Senior Researcher at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), most policy proposals for managing AI risks in warfare rely on vague calls for 'meaningful human control' or 'appropriate human judgment'.
We cannot build effective governance for warfighting AI unless we are explicit about why we want humans involved, what kind of involvement we seek, and what exactly our policies are meant to govern.
Davidovic's article in Nature Machine Intelligence argues that a clear taxonomy of human engagement purposes, types, and targets is necessary for effective governance. This research is part of the PRIO project 'Ethical Risk Management for AI-Enabled Weapons: A Systems Approach (ERM)'.
