Exploring AI and Nuclear Weapons: A Journalist's Mission

Joshua Keating, a seasoned journalist, has been chosen for a special fellowship. This opportunity allows him to dive deep into how artificial intelligence (AI) and nuclear weapons are connected. The Outrider Foundation, along with Journalism Funding Partners, supports this initiative. Keating will spend the next year investigating how AI might change the way nuclear weapons are used. He will look into whether AI could make battles more automated and even nuclear. His work will also explore how AI might be used in a nuclear war and what happens when AI is introduced to powerful nuclear computers. This isn't just about reporting news as it happens. Keating will also dig into the potential dangers of new technologies. He will examine how different countries are reacting and what this means for the world's stability.Keating has a lot of experience. He has worked for various publications and has written a book about border conflicts and unrecognized countries. His work has appeared in many well-known publications, and he has reported from many different countries. The Outrider Foundation is excited about this project. They believe that the intersection of AI and nuclear security is an important area for investigation. Keating's work is seen as a valuable resource for understanding these complex issues. Keating's articles and podcast episodes will be available throughout 2025 and 2026. This fellowship is a chance to explore some of the most pressing issues of our time.
