An Ethically Assisted Future: A Forecasting of Artificial Intelligence Powered Ethical Assistants

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (Al) can prove a powerful partner for humans in selecting a national military strategy that aligns with nations' internal ethical values and maintains transparent narratives for allies and potential adversaries alike. Leveraging machine learning, crowd-sourced expert opinions, and other development techniques, Ethical Assistants can be created to conform to specific ethical constructs. An ideal Ethical Assistant is aligned to the ethical values of the state or organization developing the Assistant and possesses an equally valid ethical construct of adversaries, allies, and neutral actors affected by the strategies and decisions being weighed.
