Despite the potential risks inherent with adopting AI in nuclear systems, many of the potential benefits to both deterrence and arms control have been overlooked or ignored. Additionally, many in the nuclear policy community rely on the most extreme negative examples to make the case that AI is too dangerous to adopt into nuclear policies and practices. These views are short-sighted and ignore the reality that AI will increasingly play a role in all aspects of our civil and military policies—and that potential great power competitors such as China and Russia are investing heavily in AI-related military technology.10 The broader nuclear policy community should therefore start thinking now about how to harness the power of AI as a tool for greater stability, transparency, and security as well as steps that can be put in place to mitigate the most significant risk factors.
