Experts Concerned AI Is Going to Start a Nuclear War

Artificial intelligence began to make experts in nuclear deterrence very nervous.

Specifically, they say that a large -scale batch of integrating artificial intelligence at almost every level of military decisions is to create a “slippery slope”, where artificial intelligence will be given the ability to launch nuclear weapons themselves, or that humans with this force will become very reliable for his guidance to the point that they will tell them.

Worse than all of this, as they say, this still happens while we still do not fully understand how artificial intelligence works – and as the test shows that in war exercises, it tends to escalate conflicts to the levels of the horrific levels that humans had acquitted.

Jacqueline Schneider of Stanford, Director of the Crisis Simulation Initiative at Stanford University, who tested the response of artificial intelligence systems to the military heat, said to the stage of Amnesty. Politico In a new realistic story. “We really don’t know why this.”

All this comes as the Trump administration seeks to push artificial intelligence to many aspects of the government, with technology safety regulations stripping.

“There are no permanent guidance, as much as we can say, within the Pentagon about whether or artificial intelligence should not be combined into nuclear leadership, control and communication. Politico.

Currently, the Pentagon insists that there will always be a human being in the episode.

“The administration supports the need to maintain human control over nuclear weapons,” said one of the senior officials of the port..

Nevertheless, the fear of experts such as Schneider is that this commitment will be eaten as specialists such as Russia and China, including Amnesty International in their high-risk military leadership structures-or that Pentagon officials will stumble in a nuclear conflict because the defective artificial intelligence system tells them that it cannot be avoided.

“I heard fighters leaders say,” Hey, I want someone who can take all the results of the war game, and when I am in [crisis] The scenario, tells me what the solution depends on what is the interpretation of artificial intelligence, “” Schneider feels anxious.

In some sense, these are all new versions of old problems. Russia is believed to maintain the “dead hand” system that dates back to the Cold War era that would automatically reduce a discovered nuclear blow, although the system may not be currently being activated.

Certainly, as Politico He explains that the whole problem looks like a fictional background for a science fiction movie. But as it became clear, even after watching all these films, we do not seem to avoid slipping into this reality exactly.

“It is recognized that such a proposal will lead to comparisons of the Day of Resurrection of Dr. Strangeloove, and to respond to the war’s war plan in Wargames, and SkyNet from Terminator,” a pair of nuclear deterrent experts wrote in the 2019 Blog movie calling for the United States to develop its dead manual system, “but the prophetic images of this science fiction movie have become a reality.”
