Tom Simpson contributes a chapter to the book Responsible Use of AI in Military Systems (Chapman and Hall/CRC). He argues that the use of advanced versions of AI-enabled decision-support systems in the military poses risks, and that the management of these risks will result in a redistribution of responsibility for combat performance, away from commanders, and toward the institutions that design, build, authorise, and regulate AI-enabled systems.

The authors show that an extra year of education substantially increases pro-climate beliefs, behaviours, and policy preferences.
