About this title

Synopsis

Since the early 1980s, information technology, particularly artificial intelligence, has steadily grown in importance as a potential element in many military projects, including the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the automated tactical battlefield, and arms control verification. In this volume, thirteen experts look at the major technical, strategic, and political aspects of the issue, assessing its promises and dangers. The first broad overview of the proposed military applications of computers, Arms and Artificial Intelligence considers the conceptual and technical framework of artificial intelligence, the implications for weapon systems and strategy, and the possible applications to arms control verification and modelling. A valuable reference for researchers, students, and policymakers involved in arms control, defense, and foreign affairs, this is a comprehensive and balanced analysis of a momentous international issue.

Shipping Terms

Heavy books sent internationally at no extra cost:

Postage prices for worldwide shipping are as shown, mostly the extra postage for heavy books or sets is built into the price, so we will not ask for extra payment unless our actual shipping cost proves to be exceptionally high for a specific location.

Everything sent by Airmail:

All INTERNATIONAL orders are sent by Royal Mail Priority Airmail. If you select the faster shipping option it just means we know you're in a hurry and we will do our best to speed things up. We normally batch our international shipments once per week to give you the cheapest possible access to airmail. Generally airmail takes 5-7 business days, longer for some countries, and this is once we have entered your package into the system, so overall up to 10-15 business days, possibly longer for some destinations.
