Subject(s): Summary: James Johnson’s book, Artificial intelligence and the future of warfare: The USA, China and Strategic Stability, marks a significant contribution to the wave of recent scholarship on the potential implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for strategic warfare and great power competition. It is a must-read for strategic studies scholars, decision-makers, and military leaders. The volume is concerned with the manifold implications, trade-offs and vexing questions around how AI could destabilise international security by (among other things) supercharging existing or creating new technological arms races, directly and indirectly affecting nuclear deterrence, and strategic stability. It makes the case that while the near-term effects of AI are likely to be incremental and prosaic, practically everyone - from tech CEOs, government and military officials, scientists and programmers, and scholars - expect it to have immense implications for economies, societies, and, of course, military power.
