'Doomsday scenarios': SIPRI warns against AI in nuclear weapons
SIPRI, a global peace research group, is sounding the alarm about artificial intelligence (AI) getting more involved in nuclear weapons.
They're concerned that letting AI help make launch decisions could weaken human control—at a time when the world's nuclear arsenal is actually growing again, with over 12,241 warheads counted for 2025.
AI can't match human judgment: SIPRI
SIPRI points out that AI can't match human judgment or handle high-stress crisis moments.
They warn that relying too much on machines for something this serious could lead to unpredictable and dangerous outcomes.
Countries urged not to hand over full control to AI
The institute urges countries not to hand over full control to AI.
SIPRI emphasizes that the potential consequences are too grave to ignore, calling for real people to stay at the center of all decisions about nuclear weapons.
As countries modernize arsenals, risks of accidental conflict are rising
SIPRI also notes that as countries modernize their arsenals and arms control deals fade, risks of accidental conflict are rising.
Their message: don't let technology outpace common sense when it comes to global security.
