The recent embrace of machine learning (ML) in the development of autonomous weapons systems (AWS) creates serious risks to geopolitical stability and the free exchange of ideas in AI research. This topic has received comparatively little attention of late compared to risks stemming from superintelligent artificial general intelligence (AGI), but requires fewer assumptions about the course of technological development and is thus a nearer-future issue. ML is already enabling the substitution of…

Towards AI Accountability Infrastructure: Gaps and Opportunities in AI Audit Tooling
Audits are critical mechanisms for identifying the risks and limitations of deployed artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, the effective execution of AI audits remains incredibly difficult. As a result, practitioners make use of various tools to support their efforts. Drawing on interviews with 35 AI audit practitioners and a landscape analysis of 390 tools, we map the current ecosystem of available AI audit tools. While there are many tools designed to assist practitioners with settin…
