The integration of new technologies into military capabilities poses additional challenges for the future of arms control. To address these emerging challenges, there may be a need for a new approach in the form of integrated arms control, as proposed by researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. The civilian and military applications of cyber and AI, involving both state and non-state actors, further complicate future arms control initiatives. This dual-use feature of AI makes the use of it for arms control as important as the development of arms control mechanisms to regulate the military use of AI. Arms control has always been challenging due to the conflicting interests of state parties.
