HuMach interdisciplinary workshop
16-17 April 2026
The HuMach team hosted the interdisciplinary workshop “Changing Human-Machine Interactions in Warfare: Perspectives across Disciplines” at SDU in Odense. Scholars at various career stages and from different disciplines presented their ongoing research in the field. Professor Toni Erskine (Australian National University) delivered the keynote lecture entitled “‘Borgs in the Org’ and the Decision to Go to War”. Moreover, HuMach collaborator Professor Denise Garcia (Northeastern University) delivered concluding remarks on the governance of AI in the military domain.
The event was hosted by the Center for War Studies, University of Southern Denmark and supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

The panel debate followed the screening of the film “Intelligence Rising” and explored technical, ethical, and geopolitical implications of AI. Morten Axel Pedersen was also a speaker on the panel, while Jeppe Jacobsen acted as moderator.
Research Seminar at the Swedish Defence University
11 November 2025
Anna Nadibaidze presented HuMach research during an open research seminar at the Department of International and Operational Law, Swedish Defence University, Stockholm. In this presentation, Anna Nadibaidze examined existing understandings of human oversight across responsible AI frameworks, based on a mapping and content analysis of global and regional initiatives applying to military applications of AI. Most of the understandings of human oversight portray the human role as largely distinct and independent from and not significantly affected by using and interacting with AI. Anna Nadibaidze argued that these conceptualisations of human oversight insufficiently account for the dynamics of human-machine interaction, especially the impact of using AI systems on the exercise of human agency.
