@NoemaMag @AndrewSorota 15/ Crucially, this is mutual. Girard’s law, then: we mirror rivals to feel safe, mistaking the copy for proof of threat, so symmetry begets symmetry, until mirroring supplies the motive power. Mimetic escalation in AI-bent NC3 is advancing at algorithmically supercharged speeds. x.com/ArmsControlNow/status/1996338841389510840

“Artificial intelligence is entering nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3) faster than diplomacy can react…As researchers at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute have noted, no governance framework currently exists that is tailored to the AI-nuclear interface…The challenge is escalating precisely because AI behaves unlike any previous military technology…Artificial intelligence already is reshaping NC3 in ways that compress warning and decision time. Even when AI is deployed in conventional military domains, its integration accelerates sensor fusion and threat assessment, narrowing the window for strategic deliberation…States now worry less about adversaries’ warhead numbers and more about how quickly their decision-making cycles might change…Major powers are moving in this direction simultaneously, reinforcing uncertainty and mutual suspicion… AI is moving faster than most people think.”
