Why AI Escalation in Conflict Matters for Humanity | Warning Shots EP8

📢 TAKE ACTION NOW – Demand accountability: www.safe.ai/act

In Pentagon war games, every AI model tested made the same choice: escalation. Instead of seeking peace, the systems raced straight to conflict—and sometimes, straight to nukes.

In Warning Shots Episode 8, we confront the chilling reality that when AI enters the battlefield, hesitation disappears—and humanity may lose its last safeguard against catastrophe.

We discuss:

* Why current AI models “hard escalate” and never de-escalate in military scenarios

* How automated kill chains could outpace human judgment and spiral out of control

* The risk of pairing AI with nuclear command systems

* Whether AI-driven drones could lower human casualties—or unleash chaos

* Why governments must act now to keep AI’s finger off the button

This isn’t science fiction. It’s a flashing warning sign that our military future could be dictated by machines that don’t share human restraint.

If it’s Sunday, it’s Warning Shots.
