There are two broad – and distinct – areas of application of AI and machine learning in which the ICRC has a particular interest: first, its use in the conduct of warfare or other violence; and second, its use in humanitarian action to assist and protect the victims of armed conflict.

2024年11月28日 · We have a long way to go, but we are already providing an AI e-learning program to help ICRC staff acquire the data and digital literacy they need to explore AI solutions for humanitarian impact. The ICRC Digital Governance Board will use the AI policy to oversee compliance and implementation, and we will continue to engage with external ...

Armed forces are investing heavily in AI and there are already examples of AI being deployed on the battlefield to inform military operations or as part of weapon systems. The ICRC has highlighted three areas in which AI is being developed for use by armed actors in warfare, which raise significant questions from a humanitarian perspective:

2021年3月1日 · The ICRC, like many organizations across different sectors and regions, is grappling with the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for its work. AI is the use of computer systems to carry out tasks – often associated with human intelligence – that require cognition, planning, reasoning or learning; and machine ...

2023年10月24日 · In this post, ICRC Military Adviser Ruben Stewart, and Legal Adviser Georgia Hinds seek to critically examine some of the touted benefits of AI when used to support decisions by armed actors in war. In particular, the areas of civilian harm mitigation and tempo are discussed, with a particular focus on the implications for civilians in armed ...

2024年11月18日 · The ICRC’s artificial intelligence policy is anchored in a purely humanitarian approach driven by our mandate and Fundamental Principles. It is meant to help ICRC staff learn about AI and safely explore its humanitarian potential.

人工智能是指利用计算机系统来执行通常与人类智能相关的任务，即需要认知、规划、推理或学习的工作；而机器学习系统则是通过最终决定系统如何运行的数据进行“训练”和“学习”的人工智能系统。 这些软件工具或算法能够应用于多种不同工作，其潜在影响可能十分深远，但尚未被完全理解。 在人工智能与机器学习的应用领域当中，红十字国际委员会特别关注两个宽泛而又截然不同的问题：第一，相关技术 在作战行为 或其他暴力局势中的 应用 1 ；第二，相关技术在援助及保护武 …

ICRC’s perspective on the use of AI and machine learning in armed conflict, the potential humanitarian consequences, and the associated legal obligations and ethical considerations that should govern its development and use. It also makes reference to the use of AI tools for humanitarian action, including by the ICRC. 2.

2025年2月20日 · As stated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS), human actors remain the primary (indeed the only) accountable agents in international humanitarian law (IHL).

This paper sets out the ICRC's perspective on the use of AI and machine learning in armed conflict, the potential humanitarian consequences, and associated legal obligations and ethical considerations that should govern its development and use.
