(Preamble)

We reaffirm that the use of AI must take place within the context of the existing DoD ethical framework. Building on this foundation, we propose the following principles, which are more specific to AI, and note that they apply to both combat and non combat systems. AI is a rapidly developing field, and no organization that currently develops or fields AI systems or espouses AI ethics principles can claim to have solved all the challenges embedded in the following principles. However, the Department should set the goal that its use of AI systems is:

· Plan and Design:

1 At the initial stages of setting out the purpose of the AI system, the design team shallcollaborate to pinpoint the objectives and how to reach them in an efficient and optimizedmanner. Planning the design of the AI system is an essential stage to translate the system’sintended goals and outcomes. During this phase, it is important to implement a fairness awaredesign that takes appropriate precautions across the AI system algorithm, processes, andmechanisms to prevent biases from having a discriminatory effect or lead to skewed andunwanted results or outcomes. 2 Fairness aware design should start at the beginning of the AI System Lifecycle with a collaborative effort from technical and non technical members to identify potential harm andbenefits, affected individuals and vulnerable groups and evaluate how they are impacted bythe results and whether the impact is justifiable given the general purpose of the AI system. 3 A fairness assessment of the AI system is crucial, and the metrics should be selected at this stage of the AI System Lifecycle. The metrics should be chosen based on the algorithm type (rule based, classification, regression, etc.), the effect of the decision (punitive, selective, etc.), and the harm and benefit on correctly and incorrectly predicted samples. 4 Sensitive personal data attributes relating to persons or groups which are systematically or historically disadvantaged should be identified and defined at this stage. The allowed threshold which makes the assessment fair or unfair should be defined. The fairness assessment metrics to be applied to sensitive features should be measured during future steps.

· Prepare Input Data:

1 Following the best practice of responsible data acquisition, handling, classification, and management must be a priority to ensure that results and outcomes align with the AI system’s set goals and objectives. Effective data quality soundness and procurement begin by ensuring the integrity of the data source and data accuracy in representing all observations to avoid the systematic disadvantaging of under represented or advantaging over represented groups. The quantity and quality of the data sets should be sufficient and accurate to serve the purpose of the system. The sample size of the data collected or procured has a significant impact on the accuracy and fairness of the outputs of a trained model. 2 Sensitive personal data attributes which are defined in the plan and design phase should not be included in the model data not to feed the existing bias on them. Also, the proxies of the sensitive features should be analyzed and not included in the input data. In some cases, this may not be possible due to the accuracy or objective of the AI system. In this case, the justification of the usage of the sensitive personal data attributes or their proxies should be provided. 3 Causality based feature selection should be ensured. Selected features should be verified with business owners and non technical teams. 4 Automated decision support technologies present major risks of bias and unwanted application at the deployment phase, so it is critical to set out mechanisms to prevent harmful and discriminatory results at this phase.

· Build and Validate:

1 Privacy and security by design should be implemented while building the AI system. The security mechanisms should include the protection of various architectural dimensions of an AI model from malicious attacks. The structure and modules of the AI system should be protected from unauthorized modification or damage to any of its components. 2 The AI system should be secure to ensure and maintain the integrity of the information it processes. This ensures that the system remains continuously functional and accessible to authorized users. It is crucial that the system safeguards confidential and private information, even under hostile or adversarial conditions. Furthermore, appropriate measures should be in place to ensure that AI systems with automated decision making capabilities uphold the necessary data privacy and security standards. 3 The AI System should be tested to ensure that the combination of available data does not reveal the sensitive data or break the anonymity of the observation. Deploy and Monitor: 1 After the deployment of the AI system, when its outcomes are realized, there must be continuous monitoring to ensure that the AI system is privacy preserving, safe and secure. The privacy impact assessment and risk management assessment should be continuously revisited to ensure that societal and ethical considerations are regularly evaluated. 2 AI System Owners should be accountable for the design and implementation of AI systems in such a way as to ensure that personal information is protected throughout the life cycle of the AI system. The components of the AI system should be updated based on continuous monitoring and privacy impact assessment.

· Plan and Design:

1 When designing a transparent and trusted AI system, it is vital to ensure that stakeholders affected by AI systems are fully aware and informed of how outcomes are processed. They should further be given access to and an explanation of the rationale for decisions made by the AI technology in an understandable and contextual manner. Decisions should be traceable. AI system owners must define the level of transparency for different stakeholders on the technology based on data privacy, sensitivity, and authorization of the stakeholders. 2 The AI system should be designed to include an information section in the platform to give an overview of the AI model decisions as part of the overall transparency application of the technology. Information sharing as a sub principle should be adhered to with end users and stakeholders of the AI system upon request or open to the public, depending on the nature of the AI system and target market. The model should establish a process mechanism to log and address issues and complaints that arise to be able to resolve them in a transparent and explainable manner. Prepare Input Data: 1 The data sets and the processes that yield the AI system’s decision should be documented to the best possible standard to allow for traceability and an increase in transparency. 2 The data sets should be assessed in the context of their accuracy, suitability, validity, and source. This has a direct effect on the training and implementation of these systems since the criteria for the data’s organization, and structuring must be transparent and explainable in their acquisition and collection adhering to data privacy regulations and intellectual property standards and controls.
