Armament, Arms Control and Artificial Intelligence
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-11042-9 (ISBN)
The significant increase in computing power, the increasing reliance on software, and the advent of (narrow) AI and deep-learning algorithms all have the potential to lead to disruptive changes for military operations and warfare, rendering many classical arms control instruments less effective, or even useless. On the other hand, AI might lead to completely new arms control approaches, raising the effectiveness and reliability of new verification measures. To provide a common understanding, the book starts by presenting a general introduction to the state of the art in artificial intelligence and arms control, and how the two topics are interrelated. The second part of the book looks at examples from various fields of weapon technology, including weapons of mass destruction (WMD), conventional armament, and emerging technologies. The final section offers a cross-cutting perspective based on the examples presented in the second part.
This volume will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of peace and security studies in general, and armament and arms control in particular with a strong focus on AI.
Thomas Reinhold is a research assistant at the Chair of Science and Technology for Peace and Security (PEASEC) at TU Darmstadt. His research focuses on the increasing militarization of cyberspace and the influence of artificial intelligence on military developments, especially regarding questions of disarmament and arms control. Niklas Schoernig is a senior researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) and head of the PRIF research group on Emerging Technology, Order and Stability (rETOS). His research focuses, inter alia, on current trends in warfare, military robotics, and arms control for emerging technologies. Schoernig holds a Ph.D. from Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In 2011/2012 he was a visiting professor for International Relations and Theories of Global World Order at Goethe University.
