Artificial Intelligence
Clear, comprehensive and actionable definitions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are elusive given the rapid pace of its evolution. Generally, the term refers to a suite of capabilities executed via computer systems that are designed to perform the cognitive functions of the human mind. Among these are machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI. The AI Triad is a useful paradigm for understanding and visualizing artificial intelligence in general. Simply put, artificial intelligence is machine learning systems using computer power to execute algorithms that learn from data to use perception, reasoning, learning and creativity to help solve problems.
Proliferation Concerns
Notwithstanding the uncertainty of AI’s trajectory, it could pose concerns along several discrete areas of the nuclear value chain. For instance, AI will likely facilitate access to peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, including nuclear materials that could be diverted or abused for illicit purposes. Policymakers have already moved to head off any push to prematurely integrate AI into nuclear command and control out of…
