Firebreaks: Mitigating the Risks of AI Integration into Nuclear Operations
BRSL has partnered with the Arms Control Association (ACA), and the European Leadership Network (ELN) to address the Carnegie Corporation of New York’s call to identify how and where technological developments affect nuclear risks and find solutions for reducing these dangers.
The Firebreak Project is a collaboration between the Arms Control Association, Berkeley Risk and Security Lab, and the European Leadership Network to bring together scholars of AI policy and nuclear weapons operations to address international policy challenges posed by increasing AI integration into nuclear weapons operations.
The project combines traditional qualitative public policy research and analytical simulation methods to identify opportunities to mitigate risks and improve strategic stability. Through a series of table top exercises and expert consultations, the project will propose and test a program of specific, actionable policies for mitigating risks of AI integration.
By producing a series of papers, a comprehensive final report, and a teaching exercise, the project will socialize proposed solutions in relevant policy communities and set conditions for future research on the intersection of AI and nuclear operations.
