Negotiating Stability: Reflections on CSIS’ Future Arms Control Experts (FACE) Program
IST Senior Associate for Nuclear Policy Brandon Cortino spent the last year as a fellow in the Center for Strategic and International Studies FACE cohort, which aims to train the next generation of arms control negotiators. He shares lessons learned from his study of the 2002 Moscow Treaty signed by Presidents Bush and Putin. “It is clear future treaties must consider the myriad threats posed by poor AI integration into nuclear command, control, and communications, and great powers must find common ground and rally against destabilizing technologies,” he writes.
