Program Description

The NATO SG-278 study on Cognitive Augmentation for Military Applications identified a series of challenges and opportunities related to the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of leveraging new forms of training and operational support (including neurostimulation, neuroaugmentation, and human-AI teaming). This topic is under-addressed and requires more depth and visibility in our community, as evidenced by questions and requests from the 2023 I/ITSEC conference when SG-278 was briefed.

This vast new field is actively being researched in several critical domains, such as healthcare, transportation, and public policy. Engaging with and hearing from those working at the forefront of ELSI will preview and inform future work that aligns with the needs of the I/ITSEC community, specifically as we seek to integrate training and readiness more closely and rapidly with artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies.

This moderated panel will feature perspectives from scientists and practitioners in Government, industry, and non-profit research organizations. The purpose of this special event is (1) to raise awareness about challenges and opportunities related to ELSI in training and ops, (2) to build a network of interested practitioners and decision-makers across government and industry, and (3) to identify priority areas for training and simulation research.
