US Military Proposes to Transfer Control of Nuclear Arsenal to Artificial Intelligence
A group of US military personnel and officers from the US Space Force has proposed transferring control of the country's nuclear arsenal to artificial intelligence (AI). This issue was discussed on March 6 at the 2025 Air and Space Forces Symposium.
The discussion about the role of AI in nuclear operations is not new in US military circles. Armed forces representatives argue that automated systems could speed up decision-making, reduce human error, and minimize the risk of mistakes. However, the idea of transferring control of strategic weapons to algorithms raises serious concerns among security experts.
Supporters of the initiative believe that AI can instantly analyze threats, quickly respond to potential nuclear attacks, and coordinate countermeasures. In modern military doctrine, where response speed is critical, automation could give the US an advantage over its competitors.
Opponents warn that transferring control of nuclear weapons to AI carries enormous risks. Even with highly advanced algorithms, there remains the possibility of errors, malfunctions, and uncontrolled decisions, which, in the context of nuclear strategy, could lead to catastrophic consequences.
The discussion of this topic points to the growing role of artificial intelligence in the military sector. If the idea gains support in US political and military circles, it could lead to a shift in the strategic balance of the global nuclear deterrence system.
