This white paper underscores the critical importance of responsibly deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in military contexts, emphasizing a commitment to ethical and legal standards. The evolving role of AI in the military goes beyond mere technical applications, necessitating a framework grounded in ethical principles. The discussion within the paper delves into ethical AI principles, particularly focusing on the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) guidelines. Noteworthy considerations encompass transparency, justice, non-maleficence, and responsibility. Importantly, the paper extends its examination to military-specific ethical considerations, drawing insights from the Just War theory and principles established by prominent entities. In addition to the identified principles, the paper introduces further ethical considerations specifically tailored for military AI applications. These include traceability, proportionality, governability, responsibility, and reliability. The application of these ethical principles is discussed on the basis of three use cases in the domains of sea, air, and land. Methods of automated sensor data analysis, eXplainable AI (XAI), and intuitive user experience are utilized to specify the use cases close to real-world scenarios. This comprehensive approach to ethical considerations in military AI reflects a commitment to aligning technological advancements with established ethical frameworks. It recognizes the need for a balance between leveraging AI's potential benefits in military operations while upholding moral and legal standards. The inclusion of these ethical principles serves as a foundation for responsible and accountable use of AI in the complex and dynamic landscape of military scenarios.

翻译：本白皮书强调了在军事领域负责任地部署人工智能（AI）的至关重要性，并强调了对伦理与法律标准的承诺。AI在军事中不断演变的角色超越了单纯的技术应用，需要一个植根于伦理原则的框架。本文的讨论深入探讨了伦理AI原则，特别聚焦于公平性、问责制、透明性与伦理（FATE）准则。值得注意的考量包括透明度、公正性、非恶意性与责任。重要的是，本文将其审视延伸至军事特有的伦理考量，借鉴了正义战争理论以及由重要实体确立的原则。除了已识别的原则外，本文还引入了专门为军事AI应用定制的进一步伦理考量，包括可追溯性、相称性、可治理性、责任与可靠性。这些伦理原则的应用基于海、空、陆三个领域的用例进行讨论。通过采用自动化传感器数据分析、可解释人工智能（XAI）以及直观用户体验等方法，使用例贴近真实场景。这种对军事AI伦理考量的全面方法，体现了将技术进步与既定伦理框架相协调的承诺。它认识到需要在利用AI于军事行动中的潜在益处与维护道德和法律标准之间取得平衡。纳入这些伦理原则，为在复杂多变的军事场景中负责任且可问责地使用AI奠定了基础。
