Arms and Artificial Intelligence Weapon and Arms Control Applications of Advanced Computing

Since the early 1980s, information technology, particularly artificial intelligence, has steadily grown in importance as a potential element in many military projects, including the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the automated tactical battlefield, and arms control verification. In this volume, thirteen experts look at the major technical, strategic, and political aspects of the issue, assessing its promises and dangers. The first broad overview of the proposed military applications of computers, Arms and Artificial Intelligence considers the conceptual and technical framework of artificial intelligence, the implications for weapon systems and strategy, and the possible applications to arms control verification and modelling. A valuable reference for researchers, students, and policymakers involved in arms control, defense, and foreign affairs, this is a comprehensive and balanced analysis of a momentous international issue.Din, Allan M. is the author of 'Arms and Artificial Intelligence Weapon and Arms Control Applications of Advanced Computing' with ISBN 9780198291220 and ISBN 0198291221.
