Adam McCauley will present the key arguments and implications of his current manuscript, The Price of Certainty. His book offers the first systematic assessment of how AI systems, and the tools they produce, will reshape political and military decision-making. These technologies will offer faster-than-human calculation and handle data volumes that far exceed human cognitive capabilities. As these tools demonstrate their operational advantages, they will definitively reform how we, as humans, think about, understand, and act in the world. Most worryingly, these changes threaten to fundamentally reshape the strategic grammar (and upend extant theories) of international relations.
