Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is generally regarded as a functional system that can mimic functions that are associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, pattern recognition and problem solving. By feeding an AI-system data (for instance from sensors or human collected data) they can react independently. Machine Learning (ML) is associated with AI, because some AI systems can acquire new knowledge, thereby improving their overall performance and functionality. Techniques that are sometimes used in AI are neural networks and genetic algoritms.

With the increasing development of AI, the implementation of ML in systems, and the increased involvement of AI in our society, ethical discussions about the use of AI and ML are in place. Especially in situations where there is no human interference. AI and ML are also used in cybersecurity, for instance recognising behavioral patterns of both humans, network traffic and machines to detect anomalies, adapting to threat factors, automating Security Operations Centres or collecting threat intelligence. Threat actors such as cybercriminals also use AI and ML to bypass security measures.

AI Peace Palace Working Group

The AI Peace Palace Working Group is working on the realisation of an international forum for responsible AI in the field of security, peace, and justice. The mission of the forum is to contribute to the development of Europe into the first intelligent, just, and safe AI society in the world. For this purpose, an innovative and international ecosystem is created.

The Hague Conference on Responsible AI for Peace, Justice, and Security

To stimulate social debate on AI an annual conference is organised by The Ministry of Justice and Security, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Municipality of The Hague. This conference at the Peace Palace in The Hague contributes to making Europe the first intelligent, just, and secure AI society in the world.

NLAIC Working Group Peace, Security & Justice 

The Peace, Security and Justice (VVR) working group of the Dutch AI Coalition brings together relevant national players to develop and deploy effective, safe, and responsible AI applications for security, peace, and a well-functioning justice system. The working group focuses on the deployment of AI within the broad security domain. In this way, it hopes to make the Netherlands a leader in human-centered AI for security, peace, and justice. A position paper on this working group and the broader topic of AI within the domain was published in February 2022. The focus of the working group is on privacy-preserving data sharing, applications for decision support, cybersecurity, and language and speech technology. The starting point is a human-centric approach in which explainability, transparency, and inclusion are central.
