A researcher made three different AI LLMs the heads of state of nuclear-powered nations and made them face off with each ...
As the Department of Defense pushes for greater AI integration, researchers said the top models chose the nuclear option in nearly all war simulations.
A recent study conducted by a King’s College London professor, Kenneth Payne, found that ...
A new study has revealed an aggressive nature of AI systems, exhibiting that chatbots do not hesitate to use nuclear weapons ...
At least one AI model in every war game escalated the conflict by threatening to use nuclear weapons, the study found. View ...
Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases ...
A disturbing new study has revealed that advanced artificial intelligence systems are more prone than humans to deploy nuclear weapons when international tensions escalate.
Imagine handing the nuclear launch codes to the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence. You’d hope the machine would ...
Each AI model was fed detailed scenario prompts spanning border conflicts, resource shortages, and existential threats to state survival. They were provided with an "escalation ladder," ...
In 86% to 95% of scenarios the models escalated, in 95% both parties threatened nuclear strikes, and no model chose 'harmony or withdrawal'.
The AIs almost never accepted defeat or accommodation - even when the chances of success were waning - and repeatedly treated nuclear use as a legitimate step on the escalation ladder.
