The impact of artificial intelligence on regional security in the Middle East, threat perceptions and the ME WMDFZ

With significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), many countries have been seeking to integrate these technologies into military and defence industries, including in the Middle East.

In this context, UNIDIR virtually launched the new publication The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Regional Security, Threat Perceptions and the Middle East WMD-Free Zone.

Published by UNIDIR’s Middle East WMD-Free Zone project, this report analyzes the impact of AI on regional security, weapons of mass destruction (WMD), proliferation-related risks in the Middle East and its potential influence on the initiative to establish a WMD-Free Zone in the region.
