The integration of artificial intelligence into national security decision-making processes may have both fascinating and challenging consequences. A hypothetical crisis scenario involving a Chinese blockade on Taiwan was used to explore the opportunities and challenges that AI could bring to decision-making. The results were not always as expected. While AI can speed up decision-making by providing valuable analysis time, it can also slow it down by producing more data, creating uncertainty, and forcing policymakers to consider the role of AI in adversary actions. AI can also prevent groupthink by offering unconventional ideas, but it can also encourage it by creating overconfidence in the system. Moreover, AI can reinforce existing bureaucratic advantages, and misperception can be amplified by the spread of AI. Training and previous experience are essential to mitigate these risks, and clear AI rules can strengthen stability in crisis situations.
