The Cold War (1947-1991) pitted two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, against each other in a frantic nuclear arms race.

History is an eternal restart. After a period of relative calm, the arms race has resumed, no longer in nuclear weapons, but in artificial intelligence.

The two camps are fighting to see who can develop autonomous lethal weapons (tanks, drones, etc.) or who can control data and information. A third protagonist, China, is also involved.

This technological overkill in the field of armaments complicates the relative international stability and weakens the UN talks on the use of autonomous lethal weapons.

But as at the end of every major conflict, human beings have resigned themselves to being better, let us hope that this conflict will lead to agreements on the use of autonomous lethal weapons.
