2. RELIABILITY, SECURITY AND PRIVACY

AI stakeholders must ensure AI systems and related data are reliable, accurate and secure and the privacy of individuals is protected throughout the AI system’s life cycle, with potential risks identified and managed on an ongoing basis.

3. Traceable.

DoD’s AI engineering discipline should be sufficiently advanced such that technical experts possess an appropriate understanding of the technology, development processes, and operational methods of its AI systems, including transparent and auditable methodologies, data sources, and design procedure and documentation.

· 1) Robustness:

Artificial intelligence should be safe and reliable. We are dedicated to accentuating technical robustness and security throughout the research process, providing a secure and reliable system to improve the ability to prevent attack and conduct self repair.

Fifth principle: Reliability

AI enabled systems must be demonstrably reliable, robust and secure. The MOD’s AI enabled systems must be suitably reliable; they must fulfil their intended design and deployment criteria and perform as expected, within acceptable performance parameters. Those parameters must be regularly reviewed and tested for reliability to be assured on an ongoing basis, particularly as AI enabled systems learn and evolve over time, or are deployed in new contexts. Given Defence’s unique operational context and the challenges of the information environment, this principle also requires AI enabled systems to be secure, and a robust approach to cybersecurity, data protection and privacy. MOD personnel working with or alongside AI enabled systems can build trust in those systems by ensuring that they have a suitable level of understanding of the performance and parameters of those systems, as articulated in the principle of understanding.
