About This AI Online Course

The U.S. Department of Defense is endeavoring to rapidly evolve into an artificial intelligence-ready enterprise to advance decision advantage and operational effectiveness.

In support of this evolution, its workforce—both military and civilian—must have the right level of knowledge and skills to ethically use 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. Every DoD and government contractor employee supporting this mission space is responsible for escalating ethical and safety concerns of AI solutions.

Because AI solutions enable autonomy, decision making and system execution at incredibly fast speeds, strong ethical considerations are paramount. In this course, you will delve into the five DoD Ethical AI Principles that guide the development, design, deployment and use of AI across the DoD enterprise.
