They may offer super-human speed and precision, but AI-enabled weapons are vulnerable to being hacked or tricked with misleading data
between China and America, the world’s two superpowers, has many dimensions, from skirmishes over steel quotas to squabbles over student visas. One of the most alarming and least understood is the race towards artificial-intelligence-enabled warfare. Both countries are investing large sums in militarised artificial intelligence , from autonomous robots to software that gives generals rapid tactical advice in the heat of battle.
During the 20th century the world eventually found a way to manage a paradigm shift in military technology, the emergence of the nuclear bomb. A global disaster was avoided through a combination of three approaches: deterrence, arms control and safety measures. Many are looking to this template forDeterrence rested on the consensus that if nuclear bombs were used, they would pose catastrophic risks to both sides. But the threat posed byis less lurid and less clear.
That leaves the last control—safety. Nuclear arsenals involve complex systems in which the risk of accidents is high. Protocols have been developed to ensure weapons cannot be used without authorisation, such as fail-safe mechanisms that mean bombs do not detonate if they are dropped prematurely. More thinking is required on how analogous measures might apply tosystems, particularly those entrusted with orchestrating military forces across a chaotic and foggy battlefield.
