The following describes a new special issue of The Nonproliferation Review.
The Nonproliferation Review, the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, has just published Volume 33, Issues 1–3, a special issue on artificial intelligence and weapons of mass destruction.
