AI Revolution: Weapons of Mass Destruction with David Koplow

Biological. Chemical. Radiological. When most people think of Weapons of Mass Destruction, or WMDs, they often think of nuclear capabilities and atomic weapons. How will AI development and its catastrophic potential on the battlefield shape the global understanding and control of WMD’s? This week, host Elisa is joined by David Koplow, arms control expert and Professor of Law at Georgetown University, to discuss the history of WMDs, the laws and treaties that govern them, and how AI innovation will shape our future understanding of weapons and warfare.

David Koplow is a Professor of Law at Georgetown University
