A Red Line and Oversight Framework for Government AI Contracts

A Red Line and Oversight Framework for Government AI Contracts

Short summary

A former Google DeepMind employee proposes a governance framework for AI companies contracting with government entities, establishing two red lines: human control over targeting and use of force, and no untargeted AI profiling. The framework includes a seven-person Defense AI Review Body that assesses contract compliance with yearly transparency reports to prevent quiet dismantling. The author invites discussion on improving the framework as corporate governance and its potential to inform future legislation.

  • Two red lines: human control over lethal targeting and no untargeted AI profiling of civilians
  • Seven-person Defense AI Review Body with transparency mechanisms to prevent quiet defanging
  • Framework designed to be robust under pressure from Cloud sales, legal, and Pentagon counterparties

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
