Horns of a Dilemma

Challenges and Opportunities for AI in Military Systems

May 13, 2026·40 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Michael Horowitz discusses his recent TNSR article, "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Strategic Stability." We tackle misconceptions about AI, how militaries have long used algorithms, and why use cases and data matter—especially when nuclear applications rely on simulated data. He examines human-machine teaming, automation bias and algorithm aversion, and risks from faster, "machine-speed" conflict, particularly for states with unstable second-strike capabilities. Hosts: Sheena Chestnut Greitens and Ryan Vest Producer: Jordan Morning
