The Pentagon announced on Feb. 24 it has adopted new ethical principles for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the battlefield.

The principles, developed over 15 months, include responsibility, equity, and governability, and call for personnel to “exercise appropriate levels of judgment and care” when using AI systems, the Department of Defense said.
