Can AI deter war?

from The Call by the Global Intelligence Desk · host The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Intelligence Desk

For 75 years, NATO's central mission has been deterrence: convincing adversaries that the cost of conflict outweighs any possible gain. Next week, as Alliance leaders gather in Ankara to reinforce that commitment, they face a new question. Can deterrence survive the age of artificial intelligence?Shield AI – a fast-growing defense startup - was founded on the simple proposition that the greatest victory requires no war. Some argue compressed decisions of automated warfare could lower the threshold for confrontation. But our guest, President and Co-founder Brandon Tseng, sees the AI arms race as strengthening defense posture - and actually reducing the risk of war.Either way, Shield AI illustrates not only the security challenge, but an example of industry disruption, and one of the great industrial opportunities of our time.-The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider listening thereafter.Learn more about the Global Intelligence Desk: https://globalintelligencedesk.com/Join the conversation on LinkedIn:   / global-intelligence-desk
