ABSTRACT
The increased development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States and the Department of Defense (DoD), along with the ethical concerns that AI and lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs) present, was the motivation for an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the Department of English and Philosophy (DEP). The development of LAWs concerns a variety of other nations. Pakistan and India would each be concerned if the other was developing LAWs and employing them. Human-out-ofthe-loop weapons notably undermine our traditional notions of agency, responsibility, human dignity, and conceptions of just war. Primarily, Ethics of AI in War demonstrates the viability of six instructors from multiple disciplines sharing responsibility for cadet learning. Cadet comments about Ethics of AI in War have been overwhelmingly positive.
