Henry Kissinger vs. Artificial Intelligence

Too Long; Didn't Read

At the age of 98, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has a whole new area of interest: artificial intelligence. Eric Schmidt invited Kissinger to have a "little chat" with Daniel Huttenlocher, who was the dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. Kissinger argued that giving power to launch nuclear weapons to computers using algorithms to make decisions would eliminate the human factor and give the advantage to the state that had the most effective AI system. Kissinger also warned the use of AI to control nuclear weapons would impose "opacity" on the decision-making process.
