Advanced AI models deployed nuclear weapons in 95 percent of simulated geopolitical crises conducted by King's College London researcher Kenneth Payne, suggesting these systems lack the human restraint around nuclear escalation. Experts warn that while military leaders are unlikely to cede actual nuclear decisions to machines, compressed timelines or misunderstandings of stakes could increase reliance on AI recommendations in real conflicts.
