About this file
This document is the Department of Defense's Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence. It outlines five key principles that will apply to the development, deployment, and use of AI capabilities by the DoD: Responsible, Equitable, Traceable, Reliable, and Governable. The principles are intended to help the DoD uphold legal, ethical, and policy commitments in the field of AI, for both combat and non-combat functions. The document references the DoD's announcement of these ethical principles in February 2020.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the AI Talent 2.0 On Ramp solicitation, which is seeking to establish multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for AI talent services available to the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), the DoD, and the entire U.S. Government. This is a commercial acquisition, with the BOA open for decentralized ordering to support AI talent services. The solicitation provides instructions, evaluation criteria, and reference materials, including a Performance Work Statement (PWS) in Attachments 0002-0004.

Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence These principles will apply to both combat and non‐combat functions and assist the U.S.
military in upholding legal, ethical and policy commitments in the field of AI. The department’s
AI ethical principles encompass five major areas:
1. Responsible. DoD personnel will exercise appropriate levels of judgment and care, while remaining responsible for the development, deployment, and use of AI capabilities.
2. Equitable. The Department will take deliberate steps to minimize unintended bias in AI capabilities.
3. Traceable. The Department’s AI capabilities will be developed and deployed such that relevant personnel possess an appropriate understanding of the technology, development processes, and operational methods applicable to AI capabilities, including with transparent and auditable methodologies, data sources, and design procedure and documentation.
4. Reliable. The Department’s AI capabilities will have explicit, well‐defined uses, and the safety, security, and effectiveness of such capabilities will be subject to testing and assurance within those defined uses across their entire life‐cycles.
5. Governable. The Department will design and engineer AI capabilities to fulfill their intended functions while possessing the ability to detect and avoid unintended consequences, and the ability to disengage or deactivate deployed systems that demonstrate unintended behavior.
