Artificial intelligence could spark an accidental nuclear war, conflict experts fear. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the world's leading organisation on nuclear assessments, said technologies like AI are aggravating the risk carried with growing global nuclear stockpiles.

The institute's director, Dan Smith, warned: 'One component of the coming arms race will be the attempt to gain and maintain a competitive edge in artificial intelligence (AI), both for offensive and defensive purposes. 'There are benefits to be found but the careless adoption of AI could significantly increase nuclear risk.'
