Nuclear weapons and AI present huge risks on their own - and those risks are compounded when the two are integrated. Our new short film, “Artificial Escalation”, explores this terrifying possibility. You can watch and share it here:

@FLIxrisk Old movie "War Games": The computer: "Shall we paly a game? How about global thermonuclear war?" I am waitng for one of these computer systems to tell us that humans are a defective biological species that needs to be replaced.

@FLIxrisk

@FLIxrisk Vital and important work. Great idea to dramatize risks in this way to drive awareness. Well done!

@FLIxrisk

@FLIxrisk Nuclear war and AI? Have you seen the Terminator? You're a bit late to the party 😂

@FLIxrisk Years ago, under VP Mondale, I proposed RDS (real-time defense system). A blanket of neutrinos over a city is harmless to humans. But an enemy nuclear missile entering that zone cannot undergo fission/fusion (automatically depleted in real-time). Our missiles will still work.

@FLIxrisk The only winning move is not to play.

@FLIxrisk Too long; didn’t read.

@FLIxrisk Didn't need the short film, I've seen the Terminator, however good to see regardless.

@FLIxrisk Your speech is important and sensible. But I don't like this little film. It's too much based on a Hollywood script, and the ending, with that cool song, while the nuclear bombs are exploding....They who made this film didn't help you.
