Handbook on Responsible Innovation in AI for International Peace and Security
Offering essential guidance for AI practitioners, this handbook provides tools to identify, assess, and reduce risks linked to the diversion and misuse of civilian AI by irresponsible actors. It reveals how innovation decisions shape potential hazards and opportunities for global security and peace.
The objective of this handbook is to compile basic knowledge and means for artificial intelligence (AI) practitioners to understand, evaluate and mitigate, in the research and innovation process, the risks of the diversion and misuse of civilian AI technology by irresponsible actors. The handbook shows why and how decisions around the development and diffusion of research and innovation can impact risks of misuse, and in turn generate risks or even opportunities for international peace and security.
