INHR President Eric Richardson explains how the flood of drones on the battlefield in Ukraine will impact future AI military algorithms and applications. Whether the assets are Turkish, US, Chinese or Iranian, the Devil is in the Data. AI can benefit and detract from human control so it is important to understand the role of swarms, kill switches, and protection of civilians and combatants when discussing AI and ML-enhanced applications. Thanks to Globsec and the Netherlands for hosting this important discussion.
INHR partners Lt Gen (Dr) R S Panwar (India, Retd). , Dr. Barry O'Sullivan (Ireland) and Lt Gen John (Jack) Shanahan (USAF, Ret) help us analyze military AI applications from a risk-based perspective.

INHR partners Lt Gen (Dr) R S Panwar (India, Retd). , Dr. Barry O'Sullivan (Ireland) and Lt Gen John (Jack) Shanahan (USAF, Ret) help us analyze military AI applications from a risk-based perspective. INHR experts research and discuss autonomous characteristics of missiles, drones, defense systems and nuclear command and control. For example, Gen Panwar has developed a matrix to categorize and characterize the relevant risks of weapons ranging from Russia to China to the USA. The risk-based approach will be key to saving lives today and in future in Azerbaijan, Libya, Tigray and beyond.

INHR will co-host a workshop on AI and diplomacy at the 37th Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence in Washington, DC in February 2023. We will focus on what policymakers need to know about AI governance, including UN frameworks, national structures and the importance of a risk-based approach to regulation that doesn't compromise the need for cooperation in basic science research.

INHR experts can help to link developing countries and civil society with expertise for technology and policy decisions necessary to address telecommunications, artificial intelligence and cyber challenges. We can link you with industry, academia, and policy makers who are confronting the challenges of new technologies and help you in deploying solutions in your country or organization. For example, we helped SIDS/LDCs at the UN GGE on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS)
INHR represents states and civil society think about the opportunities and challenges of the cyber and Artificial Intelligence revolutions. We help states use technology for good in areas like health, human rights or development work. This includes internet freedom, privacy and data security,. Second, we can help you in representation in the UN technical agencies at the forefront of addressing technology. We understand the balance between innovation and regulation and prefer establishing guard rails to squelching creativity.
The United Nations alphabet soup of agencies addressing emerging tech can be complicated. The CCW has a Group of Governmental Experts on LAWS (Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems). UNIDIR holds conferences on cyber issues and Outer Space & Security. The UN Human Rights Council has resolutions on the impact of neutrotechnology, cyberbullying, and the impact of new and emerging technologies in the military domain. Whether you just want to attend these meetings or understand the impact of the UN resolutions and decisions, INHR can help.
We are experts in many of the multistakeholder platforms that bring industry, civil society and governments together. We have experience in the Internet Governance Forum, the Business and Human Rights Forum, the Open Government Partnership and many similar areas. Let us help you strategize about how to use these platforms to maximize your priorities. Our work on removing gender bias from AI has been acknowledged by the AI for Good Summit and the UN International Telecommunications Union.
For all to benefit from emerging technologies, ensuring access and inclusivity is key. INHR was an AI for Good finalist for our proposals to combat gender bias and we can help you think about how to address challenges like:
- working on product design to avoid AI bias based on race or gender,
- making technologies more accessible to people with disabilities,
- promoting connectivity to ensure those in remote areas and countries can access the potential of new technologies.
