So far, the Pentagon is adamant that only humans and not artificial intelligence will launch nuclear weapons. But the seeds of change are already present.

The Pentagon announced a new tactical nuclear bomb program on Oct. 27. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., and Sen. John Wicker, R-Miss., welcomed the new bomb because it 'will better allow the Air Force to reach hardened and deeply-buried targets' in Europe and the Pacific. This B61-13 variant is designed for heavy blast against nasty targets such as underground enemy nuclear missile sites. That’s you, China and North Korea.

None of this will happen casually. The Air Force has an extensive nuclear certification and surety process. It will always take a human decision to deploy, fuze, load and get airborne with nuclear bombs. However, expect airmen to start thinking about how AI can strengthen nuclear deterrence. And if we don’t, China will. CLICK HERE FOR MORE REBECCA GRANT
