In early August, ASPI USA and the Atlantic Council’s GeoTech Center co-hosted a roundtable discussion titled, “AUKUS and Responsible Autonomy: Where do “human in the loop” considerations factor in?”

The discussion examined how diverse actors utilize AI-enabled autonomous weapons systems for national security outcomes. The roundtable also looked at how private industry, government, and military leaders factor in “human in the loop” considerations for oversight to retain control of decisions on lethality instead of ceding control to war machines.

Participants included industry, think tanks, government, and civil society organizations.
