SIP1923

"October 2019".

This edited volume focuses on the impact on artificial intelligence (AI) on nuclear strategy. It is the first instalment of a trilogy that explores regional perspectives and trends related to the impact that recent advances in AI could have nuclear weapons and doctrines, strategic stability and nuclear risk.

This edited volume is the second in a series generated by a two-year SIPRI research project that addresses two main questions related to the connection between artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons. First is the question of whether and to what extent machine learning and autonomy may become the focus of an arms race among nuclear-armed states. The second question is the impact that this may have on calculations of strategic stability and nuclear risk at the regional and transregional level.

The editor would like to express sincere gratitude to the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY) for its generous support of the project. The editor is also indebted to all the experts who participated in the East Asia workshop that SIPRI and the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR) organized on the topic on 6–7 September 2018 and who agreed to contribute to this volume.
