Dr. Hans Mumm, an Autonomous Systems Expert, a Futurist, and Principal Investigator of Victory Systems based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss the rise of Autonomous Systems.
Autonomous
Systems
The emerging autonomous systems technology seems to be transformative and disruptive and holds the potential for enabling entirely new intelligence and automation capabilities for the human environment where direct human control is not physically possible. Now since these new technologies are capable of adapting to changing conditions, knowledge, and constraints, they are assigned broad objectives to increase performance, productivity, efficiency, enhance safety and security, and reduce cost.
As a result, the capability of such autonomous systems and their domains of application has expanded significantly in recent years in cyberspace, geospace and space. As seen across nations today– robotics, control, and automation are already becoming intrinsic to many aspects of human lives—and are rapidly becoming an important element of nations’ strategy for future development.
It is therefore important to understand and evaluate how important is autonomous systems technology becoming for nations science and technology vision and what trends are emerging. Moreover, it is important to understand which areas are essential for the further development of autonomous systems based on national strategic research vision and what complex challenges are emerging as a result.
Since autonomous technology fundamentally shifts responsibility from humans and lets intelligent machines take control, time is now to discuss autonomous systems’ challenges and risks!

About the Guest
Dr. Mumm is a retired Army intelligence officer who is senior cybersecurity professional with 24+ years of progressively challenging position within the advanced (emerging and disruptive) technology fields and information technology arenas. He has led highly visible, high-pressure, autonomous systems research, artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, and cybersecurity programs for the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) the National Security Council (NSC), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He is a published researcher in both the scientific and social science arenas and has won grants and contracts to further test and evaluate his original research. He has notable experience in research and systems engineering which includes winning grants and contracts for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research and the creation of an advanced multiple fuel system where he operated the world’s first and only helicopter that flies on five separate fuels without engine modifications. His research extends into emerging and disruptive technology for offensive and defensive missions supporting US and coalition operations. His UAV and robotics expertise has focused on determining the specific uses, exceptions, and allowances for robotics operations; including studying the unintended consequences, future uses, and misuse of such technologies.
