En un trabajo presentado por UNIDIR (United Nations Institute of Disarmament Research), su autor plantea diferentes escenarios de gran riesgo para la región de Medio Oriente, por la emergente carrera tecnológica en la que muchos países participan, explorando las posibles aplicaciones de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en sistemas de armas. Afirma que ello puede dar lugar a una peligrosa proliferación de sistemas letales fuera de control, e incluso de Armas de Destrucción Masiva (ADM) en esa región.
With significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), many countries have been seeking to integrate these technologies into military and defence industries, including in the Middle East. In this publication, the author examines and analyzes the impact of AI on regional security, weapons of mass destruction (WMD), proliferation-related risks in the Middle East, and its potential influence on the initiative to establish a WMD-Free Zone in the region.
The author examines plausible scenarios, such as the emergence of an arms race in military applications of AI among regional states, which could either increase WMD proliferation risks in the region or, conversely, help reduce them. The paper also discusses key factors AI may have in the negotiations to establish a WMD-Free Zone, including urgency and the potential technical benefits of AI in arms control processes.
