Book excerpt: "The increasing use of artificial intelligence poses challenges and opportunities for nearly all aspects of society, including the military and other elements of the national security establishment. This book addresses how national security law can and should be applied to artificial intelligence, which enables a wide range of decisions and actions not contemplated by current law. Baker, an expert in national security law and process, adopts a realistic approach in assessing how the law can be used, or even misused, to regulate this new technology. The book covers, among other topics, national security process, constitutional law, the law of armed conflict, arms control, and academic and corporate ethics. He also analyzes potential risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the realm of national security, including the challenges of machine-human interface, operating (or not operating) the national-security decisionmaking process at machine speed, and the perils of a technology arms race. The book will help guide policymakers, lawyers, and technology experts as they deal with the many legal questions that will arise when using artificial intelligence to plan and carry out the actions required for the nation's defense"--
