This book offers an innovative and counterintuitive study of how and why AI-infused weapons systems will affect strategic stability between nuclear-armed states. Johnson demystifies the hype surrounding AI in the context of nuclear weapons and, more broadly, future warfare. The book highlights the potential multiple intersections of these and other disruptive technologies - robotics and autonomy, cyber, drone swarms, big data analytics and quantum communications - with nuclear stability. The book paints a clear picture of the potential impact of AI on the digitised battlefield and expands our understanding of critical international policy issues. AI will fundamentally change the way wars are fought and the way decision-makers think about nuclear deterrence, escalation management and strategic stability - but not for the reasons you might think.
