Reviews

'This superb book is a technical tour de force with a timely approach to emerging challenges to nuclear deterrence. In this way, it has significant potential to inform current policy among states as they contemplate - for example - the growth of Chinese nuclear forces.' Rose Gottemoeller, Payne Distinguished Lecturer at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, Stanford University 'Johnson has crafted a superb narrative that examines the strategic risks of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on deterrence, stability and the maintenance of nuclear weapon capabilities. His evidence-based recommendations on the responsible application of artificial intelligence will provide policy makers and strategists with a range of ethical responses to the dilemmas of using non-human cognitive functions in national security.' Major General Mick Ryan 'Artificial intelligence and the future of warfare present the reader with a clear and elegant understanding of artificial intelligence as it provides a robust technical foundation concerning key technological advances in the evolution of AI for a non-technical audience.' Augusto C. Dall'Agnol, Journal of Strategic Studies -- .

Augusto C. Dall'Agnol, Journal of Strategic Studies 'With Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Warfare, James Johnson truly advances the conversation around intelligence, strategic stability, and technology. Johnson is undoubtedly well-positioned to write this book given his education as a Political Scientist, lengthy career working in China, and intellectual interest in emerging technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI). While there are similar books on the intersection of emerging technology and geopolitics, Johnson's work stands out since it addresses how AI influences intelligence collection and analysis which in turn shapes a state's perception and actions. This approach is novel making Johnson's contribution well-worth the time for strategic strategists.' Mark Grzegorzewski, Intelligence and National Security -- .
