Artificial intelligence (AI) impacts on international peace and security—much in the same way as it impacts on people’s day-to-day lives—by providing both wide-ranging and potentially significant opportunities and challenges.
This initiative aims to contribute to a better understanding of what these opportunities and risks are and how the AI community, states and international organizations may act on them.
SIPRI’s research on AI explores themes such as (a) how AI may find uses in conventional, cyber and nuclear force related systems; (b) how the military use of AI might create humanitarian but also strategic risks, and opportunities, for arms control and export verification; and (c) how the risks posed by AI may be governed through international law, arms control process and responsible research and innovation.
