Looking at a variety of armament sectors, the book examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts the fields of armament and arms control, how existing arms control measures will be affected by AI, and what new approaches based on AI have been or are currently developed. The significant increase in computing power, the increasing reliance on software, and the advent of (narrow) AI and deep-learning algorithms all have the potential to lead to disruptive changes for military operations and warfare, rendering many classical arms control instruments less effective, or even useless. On the other hand, AI might lead to completely new arms control approaches, raising the effectiveness and reliability of new verification measures. To provide a common understanding, the book starts by presenting a general introduction to the state of the art in artificial intelligence and arms control, and how the two topics are interrelated. The second part of the book looks at examples from various fields of weapon technology, including weapons of mass destruction (WMD), conventional armament, and emerging technologies. The final section offers a cross-cutting perspective based on the examples presented in the second part.This volume will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of peace and security studies in general, and armament and arms control in particular with a strong focus on AI.

Das Werk bietet einen praxisnahen und allgemeinverständlichen Einstieg in die Gesundheitsökonomie. Es gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über das Fach sowie die komplexen Strukturen des deutschen Gesundheitswesens; griffige alltagsnahe Beispiele und eine klare didaktische Struktur erleichtern das Verständnis sowie den Transfer von der Theorie in die Praxis. Fragen zur Lernkontrolle runden die einzelnen Kapitel ab. Für die 3. Auflage des Werkes sind zahlreiche Aktualisierungen vorgenommen worden. Zudem wurden Entwicklungen wie der Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen, neuen Versorgungsformen, Medizinprodukten sowie dem öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienst inkl. dem aktuellen Bezug zur Covid-19 Pandemie mehr Raum gegeben.

The cyberspace and its global infrastructures are essential for our civilizations, the economy and administration. However, cyberspace is also increasingly developing into an intelligence and military operational area, visible in the creation of military cyber departments and the integration of cyberspace into states' security and defense strategies. Unfortunately, many of the established toolset of transparency, de-escalation and arms control measures do not work for cyberspace due to its specific technical characteristics. But how de-escalation of state-led conflicts in cyberspace can be achieved and how arms control of cyber weapons can be developed? Based on a technical perspective with regard to the underlying political challenges, the book follows an approach of adopting already existing technical measures from other fields of the computer science. It presents a classification system for cyberweapons, an approach for the mutual reduction of vulnerability stockpiles and provides an approach to prove the non-involvement in a cyber conflict. Beyond this, it aims to provide some impulses regarding the responsibility and creative options of the computer science with a view to the peaceful development and use of cyberspace.
