Title
Should robots have nuclear arms? AI technology and SDI software
Abstract
This paper analyzes the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in designing SDI software. Two major uses are foreseen: (1) as an aid to writing the ten million plus lines of trustworthy SDI software that will be needed; (2) as a component of the battle management software. This second use allows the software to be adequately responsive to SDI counter-measures and autonomous in a manner fitting overall SDI requirements. This paper suggests that these uses of AI in SDI are infeasible and that rather than creating greater security, they would be more likely lead to a nuclear war.
