Artificial intelligence and nuclear decision-making: risks and challenges

In light of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, concerns are being raised about the possibility of using this #technology in nuclear decision-making. Can artificial intelligence help make more accurate and effective decisions in the field of #nuclear_security? Or are there potential risks that make the use of #artificial_intelligence in this field undesirable?

There are many potential risks of using #artificial_intelligence in nuclear decision-making, including:

• Criminal: Artificial intelligence can lead to making criminal decisions, such as launching nuclear missiles at civilian targets.
• Irresponsibility: #AI can lead to irresponsible decisions that lead to catastrophic results, such as launching nuclear missiles without political approval.
• Inability to handle complex situations: Nuclear decision-making can be very complex and #AI may not be able to handle these complexities. For example, it will be difficult for #AI to evaluate the political, economic, and military factors that influence the decision to launch nuclear missiles.

Major countries differ in their positions on the use of #artificial_intelligence in #nuclear_decision-making. The United States announced that it will not use #artificial_intelligence in making nuclear decisions, as the US Secretary of State stated: “The United States is committed to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, and we will not use #artificial_intelligence in making nuclear decisions.”

 While other reports indicate that China is working to develop a nuclear weapons program #artificial_intelligence, China has not yet responded to these allegations.

There is no doubt that the use of #artificial_intelligence in nuclear decision-making is complex, with potential risks and benefits. It is important for the scientist and decision makers in particular to be aware of these risks and benefits as well before making any decision about its use in this field.
