About This AI Online Course
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into national security and warfighting operations, the U.S. Department of Defense must ensure that its use of AI is safe, transparent accountable.
Responsible AI is not merely a technical issue—it is a strategic imperative.
In contested, high-stakes environments, trust in AI systems—by the warfighter and the public—is essential to mission success and long-term operational advantage.
This online course will introduce you to the DoD AI Ethical Principles and explores how they form the foundation of the Department’s RAI strategy. Drawing from official DoD guidance and real-world examples, you will examine the ethical and operational dimensions of AI development and deployment, including, but not limited to, how to ensure auditability, maintain human control, and promote system safety and trustworthiness.
Learners will also review insights from real world defense use case on AI-enhanced targeting systems to understand the challenges of integrating AI with legacy capabilities and the critical importance of human-AI interaction in the field.
By the end of the course, you will gain a deeper understanding of how RAI supports both ethical integrity and mission effectiveness—reinforcing the DoD’s commitment to leadership, trust, and accountability in the age of AI.
