Dear [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME],

You are invited to participate in an important survey about ethical issues involving how the United States Department of Defense (DoD) uses Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study is being conducted by the RAND Corporation,* a non-partisan, non-profit research organization with the mission of improving public policy. The study is funded by the DoD’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC). It will ultimately produce a public report detailing how people in the United States view the potential ethical implications of the Department of Defense adopting AI.

The survey takes only 15 minutes to complete. This is your chance to inform important U.S. government policy decisions regarding the use of AI by the Defense Department.

The survey can be accessed at the following link: URL

The survey is voluntary. We will not reveal your name and your answers will remain confidential. RAND will combine your survey answers with other people who take the survey and only report summary results. Because this study is funded by the Defense Department, it will also have access to the survey responses and any other research findings created by the study.

If you have questions about this research, please contact (STUDY EMAIL ADDRESS).

Thank you very much for your help with this important survey!

Sincerely,
