HAI Seminar: AI and Strategic Stability: A Framework for U.S.–China Competition

Stanford HAI · Jun 15, 2026 · Governance & Policy

AI, nuclear deterrence, and semiconductor interdependence jointly shape US–China strategic stability.

“AI introduces both new deterrence tools and new threats to strategic stability, especially through its effects on cyber operations, intelligence, and command and control.”

A Stanford HAI seminar featured Hoover Fellow Ike Fryman framing how AI intersects with nuclear deterrence and semiconductor interdependence to shape US–China strategic stability. The talk argues AI creates both new deterrence tools and new risks via cyber, intelligence, and command-and-control, but the transcript is largely introductory framing rather than concrete findings.
