Full Description
Survival, the IISS's bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment.
In this issue:
Pondering the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in warfare, Nathan Orlando explores the crucial role human judgement has played in averting the use of nuclear weapons
· Anwar Mhajne argues that, by cloaking human biases in apparent neutrality, the employment of AI in combat could marginalise moral judgement and critical assessment
· Emile Hokayem assesses that the United States and Israel's war against Iran could lead all three combatants to claim victory while ending up strategically worse off
· Paul Fraioli observes that the most consuming difficulties with the rise of AI will be social and cultural
· And nine other thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
