00:00The last major US and Russia nuclear treaty expired and there is no deal in sight.
00:05Can AI and satellites help improve security?
00:09Some experts suggest tech to help bridge the gap.
00:12The idea?
00:13Satellites monitor nuclear sites from space, with AI sifting through the data, flagging
00:18any irregularities.
00:19If the AI spots a red flag, a human expert steps in to confirm or dismiss the alert.
00:25But there are hurdles.
00:27First, sharing data.
00:28All participating countries would need access to the same satellite images.
00:33Second, trust.
00:34If the AI gets something wrong, tensions could escalate quickly.
00:38And AI needs tons of training data to work well.
00:42And there simply isn't enough real nuclear site data out there.
00:46And yes, AI can be fooled.
00:48Bottom line, AI and satellite monitoring cannot replace political treaties.
00:53What's your view?
00:54Helpful or too risky?
