Advances in emerging technologies, including space technology, hypersonic weapons, and artificial intelligence (AI), are exacerbating tensions between states and are increasing the risks of close military calls, accidents, and misunderstandings. This panel will focus on providing analyses of current technological developments in the Asia-Pacific and globally in light of the competition between nuclear-armed rivals, and how they pose significant threats to the command-and-control networks responsible for the deployment of nuclear weapons. Experts will elaborate on the biggest risks and provide insight on how to manage the application of new emerging technologies, particularly against the backdrop of crumbling arms control agreements and governance.
