As AI applications are increasingly integrated into nuclear weapons systems and related subsystems—including early warning, decision support, intelligence and predictive analysis, and other military platforms—nuclear policy professionals face a growing challenge: policy debates are accelerating faster than practitioners’ direct exposure to how modern AI tools and systems are actually built, tested, and deployed.

The Andrew Carnegie AI–Nuclear Policy Accelerator is designed to close this gap by providing mid-career professionals in the national security space with hands-on technical literacy and applied engagement. The Accelerator will train and support nuclear policy practitioners drawn from government, international organizations, the military, think tanks, and academia.
