6. Accountability and Integrity

There needs to be human accountability and control in the design, development, and deployment of AI systems. Deployers should be accountable for decisions made by AI systems and for the compliance with applicable laws and respect for AI ethics and principles. AI actors9 should act with integrity throughout the AI system lifecycle when designing, developing, and deploying AI systems. Deployers of AI systems should ensure the proper functioning of AI systems and its compliance with applicable laws, internal AI governance policies and ethical principles. In the event of a malfunction or misuse of the AI system that results in negative outcomes, responsible individuals should act with integrity and implement mitigating actions to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. To facilitate the allocation of responsibilities, organisations should adopt clear reporting structures for internal governance, setting out clearly the different kinds of roles and responsibilities for those involved in the AI system lifecycle. AI systems should also be designed, developed, and deployed with integrity – any errors or unethical outcomes should at minimum be documented and corrected to prevent harm to users upon deployment

Preamble: Our intent for the ethical use of AI in Defence

The MOD is committed to developing and deploying AI enabled systems responsibly, in ways that build trust and consensus, setting international standards for the ethical use of AI for Defence. The MOD will develop and deploy AI enabled systems for purposes that are demonstrably beneficial: driving operational improvements, supporting the Defence Purpose, and upholding human rights and democratic values. The MOD’s existing obligations under UK law and international law, including as applicable international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law, act as a foundation for Defence’s development, deployment and operation of AI enabled systems. These ethical principles do not affect or supersede existing legal obligations. Instead, they set out an ethical framework which will guide Defence’s approach to adopting AI, in line with rigorous existing codes of conduct and regulations. These principles are applicable across the full spectrum of use cases for AI in Defence, from battlespace to back office, and across the entire lifecycle of these systems.
