Deterrence under Uncertainty :

Films like WarGames and The Terminator have for decades suggested that pairing machine intelligence with nuclear arsenals could end in catastrophe. This book asks whether those fears could come true in the years ahead. Drawing on computer science, it examines whether artificial intelligence could give one side a path to winning a nuclear conflict, and how likely that outcome is.

The book traces how the foundations of nuclear deterrence are shifting, working through the subject in detailed chapters. It also sets aside common misconceptions about what machine intelligence can and cannot do where nuclear weapons are concerned.

The author writes as a practitioner, offering a view from inside the field of nuclear deterrence. The book considers how artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies might alter the part nuclear weapons play in international relations.
