Deterrence under Uncertainty:: Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Warfare

Autor Edward Geist
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2023
For decades, films such as WarGames and The Terminator have warned that the combination of artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons might be a recipe for an apocalypse. Might these prophecies of doom become reality in coming decades? Using insights from computer science, Deterrence under Uncertainty: Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Warfare evaluates how AI could make nuclear war winnable, and whether that possibility is likely. Detailed chapters explain how the landscape of nuclear deterrence is changing and debunks the myths of machine intelligence and nuclear weapons. This book gives a practitioner's perspective on how artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies could change the role of nuclear weapons in international relations.

Recenzii

Geist, steeped in the history and craft of deception as a specialist in defence policy and security, thinks even the smartest agent can be made self destructively stupid by subterfuge. Fakery is so cheap and effective that Geist envisions a future where AI-driven "fog-of-war machines" create a world that favours neither side, but backs "those who seek to confound".
Deterrence Under Uncertainty is an accessible exploration into the challenges and opportunities that arise when integrating AI with nuclear warfare. The concepts may be complex, but Geist makes them accessible to the average reader while offering more detailed explanations in the appendices.
Some books are erudite and learned. Some books are entertaining and even funny. Some books offer a whole different perspective on a topic. Some books teach interesting things. Some books are well written. Deterrence Under Uncertainty by Edward Geist is exemplary in each of these categories. It is essential reading for a world awash with conversations about the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on armed conflict.
What makes 'Deterrence under Uncertainty' especially worth reading today is its unusual combination of technical seriousness and conceptual restraint. It does not promise a new grand theory or a definitive solution to nuclear rivalry. Instead, it offers something arguably more valuable: a disciplined way of thinking about emerging technologies in a domain where overconfidence has always been especially dangerous. For readers interested in the evolution of nuclear deterrence in a digitally saturated strategic environment, it provides a grounded starting point.
