Ukraine has opened access to a database of over five million combat videos, collected during years of war, for allied defense companies to train AI military systems. The data, used to develop autonomous weapons, has already enabled lethal AI drones, raising ethical and legal concerns about harm to people.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves the development and use of AI systems for autonomous weapons, which have already been deployed in limited numbers and are being further developed using the shared dataset. The AI systems' role in identifying and attacking human targets directly implicates harm to people (injury or death). The sharing of data to accelerate this development and deployment means the AI systems are central to the harm caused or expected. This fits the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led or will lead to harm. The article does not merely discuss potential future harm (hazard) or a beneficial use, nor is it a governance or societal response (complementary information).[AI generated]
