The Elders Release Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Weapons

The Elders Address AI and Nuclear Weapons in New Declaration

The Elders, an independent global leadership organization founded by Nelson Mandela, has released a declaration titled "Humanity at the Threshold: A Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Weapons."

The declaration focuses on the convergence of artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons, positioning the current moment as a critical juncture for humanity. The Elders, known for their advocacy on peace, human rights, and conflict resolution, have increasingly turned attention to the risks posed by advancing AI systems in the nuclear context.

While full details of the declaration are not yet available, the title suggests the group is raising alarm about the implications of integrating AI into nuclear weapons systems and the potential consequences for global security.

The organization has historically spoken on matters of international peace and has previously addressed emerging technological risks to global stability.
