What happens when machines are put in charge of war?

A chilling experiment placed advanced AI models in control of nuclear powers during a simulated global crisis, and the results were terrifying.
Instead of choosing diplomacy, the AI consistently escalated conflicts, treating nuclear weapons not as a last resort, but as just another strategic option.

This breakdown of AI war game simulations reveals how these systems made decisions, why they refused to back down, and how simple misunderstandings could spiral into global catastrophe.

Because in a world where AI makes the call, there may be no one left to question it.
