They may feel like they have a closing window to resolve this problem.

And Xi Jinping has said that he does not want to pass the Taiwan issue on.

He wants to deal with it during his tenure.

I'm sure he'd like to.

I don't know if he's committed to doing that.

Well, I think it's really concerning, and there's a couple of reasons for concern, and you've mentioned one of them is just do leaders and decision makers understand the context in which they're making decisions?

And there's an opportunity to create disinformation about a particular conflict or crisis, right?

And then at a more granular level,

There is a set of systems that enable nuclear use, command and control, communications.

And these systems rely upon a digital infrastructure, and they need to be executed perfectly every time and with great speed.

So you have a network of early warning satellites and radars, and you have communications nodes, and you have decision makers who then receive the information from these various sensors and have to make sense of it.

And I think in many countries, there's going to be a strong incentive to use AI to synthesize that data and provide decision-making support to the relevant decision-makers as quickly and accurately as possible.

And to some extent, this is just software, right?

This is what

military planners do.

They take state-of-the-art software and they integrate it into their systems.

And so we will be relying increasingly on this processing of the information by something that you could consider as AI, right?

Now, there's a strong commitment by the US military

and by US decision makers to never let an AI agent make a decision.

There always needs to be a human in the loop and a human making the decision to use a nuclear weapon system.
