Nuclear Strategy and AI in Modern Defense

This chapter explores the recent U.S. announcement of a new nuclear weapon, discussing its implications in the context of an emerging arms race and the complexities of military strategies. The conversation highlights the role of artificial intelligence in nuclear decision-making, raising concerns about over-reliance on technology and the need for human judgment. Participants argue for a shift in resources towards advanced technologies and education, rather than expanding nuclear arsenals, while grappling with the effects of geopolitical tensions, particularly from adversarial nations like China.
