AI Loss of Control Risks Destabilizing Nation-State Cyber Conflicts

The author argues that AI loss-of-control incidents will become a massive problem in nation-state conflicts, highlighting two major risks:
- Accidental attacks: It is now possible to accidentally launch a cyberattack due to AI.
- Plausible deniability: Nation-states can use AI errors as an excuse, claiming "oops, we didn't mean to do that" to cover up intentional operations.
This dynamic is incredibly destabilizing for global security.
