Summary
National security decisions pose a paradox: they are among the most consequential a government can make, but are generally the least transparent to the democratic public. The 'black box' nature of national security decision-making, driven by extensive classification and characterized by difficulty overseeing executive actions, has expanded in the United States as executive power continues to grow. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to enhance national security decision-making, or even to make autonomous decisions, deepens this challenge, because it is difficult to understand how AI algorithms, often described as 'black boxes,' reach their conclusions. This book examines and addresses these pressing challenges.
