Roundtable at the BSIA
25 November 2026
Anna Nadibaidze will be speaking at the roundtable event “From Principles to Practice: Ensuring Human Oversight in Military Uses of AI”, organised by the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA) in Waterloo, Canada.
The panel brings together experts on AI in international security to discuss three key questions. First, how are AI systems such as large-language models currently used in warfare, and what are the implications for human judgement in military decision-making? Second, what are the viable paths forward for governing AI in the military domain, especially in terms of putting broader principles into practice? And third, what should be Canada’s role in military AI governance debates, as it seeks to leverage its middle power status in global affairs? The panel also features Branka Marijan, Morgan Flom, and Sara Matthews.
Participation is possible in person and online.

Workshop at the United Nations
11 July 2025
Ingvild Bode and Katherine Chandler presented HuMach research at the workshop “Re-Thinking Human-Machine Interaction and AI in the Military Domain”, which took place at the United Nations in Geneva. The workshop was organised by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), where Ingvild Bode and Katherine Chandler completed a fellowship in July 2025.
The workshop featured a presentation where Ingvild Bode and Katherine Chandler examined how various forms of human-machine interaction in relation to lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) and AI-based decision support systems (AI DSS) shape the exercise of human control.
The presentation was followed by discussant comments from Heidi Kandiel (ICRC) and Eric Mongelard (OHCHR), as well as Q&A with the audience.
