| Abstract | The emergent use of AI to aid military decision-making is increasingly contentious, raising questions about the implications for compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) during targeting. This paper presents a computational weighting model that compares incidental harm with military advantage expected from an attack, as mandated by the IHL proportionality rule. It also outlines preliminary legal and ethical issues around the use of the model, especially those related to explainability and the 'reasonable commander' standard. |
