On May 24, 2024, HCSS strategic analyst Sofia Romansky will give a lecture on International Governance for AI in the Military Domain, at the European policies for Artificial Intelligence in Defence seminar organized by Eurodefense Netherlands and KIVI Defence and Security.
The European Union recently approved the European Union AI-act, the first-ever legal framework on Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, this act is not applicable for Defence related applications. Nevertheless, AI for Defence is developing as rapidly as in other sectors and will only gain speed in the near future.
The seminar is organised in collaboration between Eurodefense Netherlands and KIVI Defence and Security, a division of the Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers KIVI.
During this afternoon seminar we will discuss AI technology development, policy issues and applications for Defence. If relevant, this could lead to Eurodefense or KIVI recommendations to European or national authorities.
