About This AI Online Course

The U.S. Department of Defense desires to become a fully artificial intelligence-ready enterprise in the near future. In support of this evolution, its workforce—both military and civilian—must have the right level of knowledge and skills to best utilize AI solutions in support of mission requirements.

As the DoD continues to embrace AI as a force multiplier, it is imperative that the Department adopts responsible behavior, processes and outcomes that reflect its commitment to ethical principles of AI. Every DoD and government contractor employee supporting this mission space is responsible for escalating ethical and safety concerns of AI solutions.

Because AI enables autonomy, decision making and system execution at incredibly fast speeds, strong ethical considerations must go into its design and deployment. In this course, you delve into the five ethical AI principles adopted by the DoD and their applications to the AI lifecycle: design, development and test/evaluation.

  • Define the five DoD ethical AI principles
