Today, the United States' peer adversaries—China and Russia—have made clear their intentions to make major investments in AI and insert this technology into their military systems, sensors, and weapons. Their goal is to gain an asymmetric advantage over the U.S. military. The implications for our national security are many and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlgorithms of Armageddon\u003c\/i\u003e examines this most pressing security issue in a clear, insightful delivery by two experts. Authors George Galdorisi and Sam J. Tangredi are national security professionals who deal with AI on a day-to-day basis in their work in both the technical and policy arenas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpening chapters explain the fundamentals of what constitutes big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. They investigate the convergence of AI with other technologies and how these systems will interact with humans. Critical to the issue is the manner by which AI is being developed and utilised by Russia and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central chapters of the work address the weaponising of AI through interaction with other technologies, man-machine teaming, and autonomous weapons systems. The authors cover in-depth debates surrounding the AI \"genie out of the bottle\" controversy, AI arms races, and the resulting impact on policy and the laws of war. Given that global powers are leading large-scale development of AI, it is likely that the use of this technology will be global in extent. Will AI-enabled military weapons systems lead to full-scale global war? Can such a conflict be avoided?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe later chapters of the work explore these questions, point to the possibility of humans failing to control military AI applications, and conclude that the dangers for the United States are real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeither a protest against AI, nor a speculative work on how AI could replace humans, \u003ci\u003eAlgorithms of Armageddon\u003c\/i\u003e provides a time-critical understanding of why AI is being implemented through state weaponisation, the realities for the global power balance, and, more importantly, U.S. national security. Galdorisi and Tangredi propose a national dialogue that focuses on the need for the U.S. military to have access to the latest AI-enabled technology in order to provide security and prosperity to the American people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848311034092,"sku":"9781612515410","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3002123482762.jpg?v=1758972902"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/sam-j-tangredi-usn-ret.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
