The overarching question imparting urgency to this exploration is: Can U.S.-Russian contention in cyberspace cause the two nuclear superpowers to stumble into war? In considering this question we were constantly reminded of recent comments by a prominent U.S. arms control expert: At least as dangerous as the risk of an actual cyberattack, he observed, is cyber operations’ “blurring of the line between peace and war.” Or, as Nye wrote, “in the cyber realm, the difference between a weapon and a non-weapon may come down to a single line of code, or simply the intent of a computer program’s user.”
Amb. Jayantha Dhanpala, President of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs will present an MTA seminar, entitled "Prospects for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference" on Wednesday April 28 at 12:15pm in the Perkins Room, Rubenstein 415.
All are welcome and invited to attend.
