Dear colleagues, Andrea Gammon and me would like to invite you to the next meeting of the OZSW study group on Engineering Ethics Education & Research, which will take place at TU Delft on 18 April 2023 from 14.00-17.00.  Rocky Clancy (Virginia Tech) will present and lead a discussion related to his current research project titled “Weaponized artificial intelligence (AI), normative and culture psychology: Methodological contributions to policies on emerging technologies.” The research project is conducted in collaboration with Dr Ingvild Bode (Syddansk Universitet – University of Southern Denmark, Center for War Studies) and Qin Zhu (Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech College of Engineering, Virginia Tech Engineering Education). The abstract is below, and you can read the linked paper in advance of the workshop, though this is not required. We’ll also discuss ideas for speakers, topics, and plans for the study group going forward. This meeting will be in room C of the TPM building at TU Delft (https://www.tudelft.nl/en/tpm/our-faculty/contact-and-map). If requested, we can also make this meeting hybrid – please just let me know if you’d like this option and I’ll arrange it. We hope to see many of you there! This event is open to anyone who’s interested (including anyone in town for FPET), so feel free to share. Please write to Andrea (a.r.gammon@tudelft.nl) if you plan to attend. Abstract: This workshop will introduce a large-scale, long-term, mixed-methods research project exploring the development of global norms surrounding the use of AI in weapons systems. It will outline both the motivations for and nature of this project. The motivations for this project consist in the need to develop effective policies surrounding the use of AI in weapon systems, which adequately account for the diverse character of normative thoughts and practices. Empirical insights and methodologies regarding the character of normative thoughts and practices can help to ensure that the psychological, social, and cultural assumptions on which discussions of weaponized AI are based are correct and, therefore, that policies and regulations concerning the use of AI in weapons systems have their intended effects. The nature of this project consists in developing standardized yet intercultural measures of AI ethics and the use of weaponized AI, coupled with questions exploring the development of global norms, validated among different national and international stakeholders. These instruments could help to better understand global norms surrounding the use of not only AI but also other emerging technologies. Reading: This presentation will expand on the description provided here (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-023-09680-3), so interested participants are encouraged to consult that article, but doing so will not be necessary for understanding the presentation. We are looking forward to welcoming you! Andrea Gammon (TU Delft) & Diana Martin (TU Eindhoven)
