How AI could make wars go nuclear
Can the pause for diplomacy survive a war that moves faster than a human can think?
Published earlier this month, the piece follows a wargame simulation where a 2026 standoff between the US and China spirals toward a nuclear exchange. It moves past sci-fi tropes of rogue robots to consider a more grounded anxiety: that automated systems might compress the time available for diplomacy until there is no room left for restraint. The tension isn't just about technical glitches, but about whether human commanders can maintain their skepticism when a machine offers the seductive promise of certainty.
An examination of the risks artificial intelligence poses to nuclear stability, framed through a simulated military crisis between the United States and China. It details how algorithmic speed and technical errors could accelerate conflict beyond human control, drawing on current battlefield applications and historical precedents like the Cuban Missile Crisis. The evaluation considers whether human oversight and specialized training can effectively mitigate the dangers of automated escalation.
