In an op-ed published in Breaking Defense, CSET's Owen J. Daniels discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on modern warfare and emphasizes the need for purposeful harnessing of AI by the Pentagon.

Militaries seek to harness artificial intelligence for decision advantage. Yet AI systems introduce a new source of uncertainty in the likelihood of technical failures. Such failures could interact with strategic and human factors in ways that lead to miscalculation and escalation in a crisis or conflict. Harnessing AI effectively requires managing these risk trade-offs by reducing the likelihood, and containing the consequences of, AI failures.
