First funded:
James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (Middlebury)
Emerging technologies are creating new pathways to nuclear escalation, from the integration of AI into nuclear systems to orbital incidents that could be misread as attacks on satellites supporting nuclear command and control. Our funding supports the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in running the Asilomar Dialogues on AI-nuclear risks with the Berkeley Risk and Security Lab and UNIDIR, and in leading Project Celestial Guard, a feasibility study for a neutral center that would pool satellite tracking data from middle powers and commercial operators to help interpret incidents in orbit.
