Militaries around the world are adopting machine learning to improve their effectiveness. From algorithms to aid in recruiting and promotion, to those designed for surveillance and early warning, to those used directly on the battlefield, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) could shape the future character of warfare. At the same time, these uses could also generate risks for international stability. The use of confidence-building measures, constructed around the shared interests that all countries have in preventing inadvertent war, could potentially reduce these risks and promote international stability.
On March 5, 2021, the CNAS Technology and National Security Program hosted a virtual discussion on AI and the role of confidence-building measures. This event is a part of the CNAS Artificial Intelligence and Global Security Initiative, which explores how the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution could lead to changes in global power, the character of conflict, and crisis stability.
