Abstract For decades, films such as WarGames and 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? Deterrence under Uncertainty: Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Warfare evaluates how AI might make nuclear war winnable and whether it can be reasonably expected to do so using insights from computer science. 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--back cover.
