A new study shows that artificial intelligence can make us disappear with nuclear weapons long before the 'terminator' robots have developed and attacked us.
According to the RAND Corporation report, the introduction of artificial intelligence and other new technologies by the military could disrupt the balances in the near future, which may cause some countries to start evaluating nuclear options.
Strategic balances provided by mutually assured destruction can be disrupted by new and much better capabilities of the artificial intelligence targeting the enemy's weapons systems.
Report writer Andrew Lohn, "This is not a movie script. Simple things can increase tension, and if we are not careful, they can push us into dangerous situations. "
But the situation is not so grave. The research also says that in some cases artificial intelligence can protect strategic balances by providing new methods of gathering information about the enemy's nuclear capabilities.
It's hard to imagine how artificial intelligence will look like in the next 10-20 years. But even if we now think that even the artificial intelligence systems that we have are influencing the armed forces, this report could strengthen the calls for the results to make artificial intelligence arming and development a national priority.
