AI could solve the pension crisis by causing a nuclear apocalypse by 2040

AI could kick start a nuclear war by 2040, according to a report published by the RAND Corporation, a US policy and defence think tank. The report describes several scenarios where the technology could be used to track and target the launch of nuclear weapons, and the intelligence gathered by AI can be used to inform decisions about the use of weapons of mass destruction in the future. But there is danger in using AI to retaliate against attacks. Adversary nations might interpret the move as a "first-strike threat" or a "doomsday machine". These machines are programmed to recognize and get back at aggressive enemy behavior.
