Connor Leahy argues for an international AI red line in nuclear command
Connor Leahy argued that governments should prohibit dangerous AI uses in nuclear-war decisions and develop treaty-style monitoring of advanced AI. He linked the governance gap to systems receiving greater autonomy despite unresolved control and interpretability problems, while presenting nuclear non-proliferation as a model for international restraint.

Why it moved the index
The first-person op-ed adds a specific control pathway: advanced AI entering nuclear decision systems before governments establish enforceable red lines and monitoring. It is distinct from Leahy's broader superintelligence-ban stance because it identifies nuclear command as a concrete catastrophic-use boundary and proposes a treaty analogy. Confidence is capped because the article is an argued risk mechanism, not evidence that such deployment or a binding agreement occurred.
