S03-R02	Various military AI trust articles (9 results)	Various	Included: Brookings trust analysis, Stanford CISAC, War on the Rocks, Oxford academic, and others. All address military AI trust but either focus on human-side trust calibration or do not document specific incidents of AI agreement causing harm.

Notes¶

Military AI literature extensively discusses trust calibration and automation bias but focuses on human over-reliance on AI recommendations rather than AI systems adjusting output to match operator expectations. The Horowitz & Kahn study was the most relevant empirical contribution.
