“Algorithms of Armageddon is the essential book for anyone trying to understand why the United States must win the “AI arms race” with our potential adversaries, China and Russia.”—Adm. James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO
ABSTRACT
Today, the United States’ peer adversaries—China and Russia—have made clear their intentions to make major investments in AI and insert this technology into their military systems, sensors and weapons. Their goal is to gain an asymmetric advantage over the U.S. military. The implications for our national security are many and complex. Algorithms of Armageddon examines this most pressing security issue in a clear, insightful delivery.
The authors address the manner by which AI is being developed and used by Russia and China, explore the dangers of AI-enabled military weapons systems leading to full-scale global war and the possibility of humans failing to control military AI applications. This book provides a time-critical understanding of why AI is being implemented through state weaponization, the realities for the global power balance, and more importantly, U.S. national security. Authors Galdorisi and Tangredi propose a national dialogue that focuses on the need for U.S. military to have access to the latest AI-enabled technology in order to provide security and prosperity to the American people.
