Non-Great-Power Conflict and AI Risk

Research into the intersection of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the risk of conflict has predominantly focused on great power confrontations. However, a new study evaluates the importance of non-great-power conflicts (NGPC) as a source of catastrophic risk in an era of increasingly capable AI, suggesting it may be comparably significant.

This research shifts focus to an under-explored but potentially significant area of risk associated with advanced AI. Understanding the implications of AI in non-great-power conflicts is crucial for comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategies, extending beyond traditional geopolitical concerns.

Existing research on AI and war risk has largely concentrated on conflicts between great powers.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
