In our new video series "Short & Sweet", Prof Ursula Schröder answers four central questions about the IFSH - in under three minutes! (German) Drones and autonomous weapons - blessing or curse? Loading... By downloading the video you accept the YouTube privacy policy Read more Load video Artificial intelligence is revolutionising many aspects of human life, including war. While drones are already being used for military purposes, the next step would be fully autonomous weapons that are capable of operating completely independent of human control. But could machines really make life-and-death decisions on the battlefield—and should they? In this new video, the IFSH presents not only the ethical dilemmas posed by autonomous weapons, but the security policy risks of digital warfare as well. The video also explains why this frontier threatens to open up a new arms race and why it is urgently necessary for autonomous weapons to be regulated by international agreements.

However, they were not a warning: the nuclear weapons states continued to research and develop even more accurate and powerful bombs. The risk that nuclear weapons could actually be used is more realistic than ever before. With the help of an animated explanatory film, IFSH shows what would happen in concrete terms if a nuclear bomb were dropped on Hamburg.

By downloading the video you accept the YouTube privacy policy Read more Load video NATO double-track, Pershing II missiles, underground nuclear bunkers: 1983 is considered one of the most dangerous years during the Cold War. More than one million people took to the streets in the Federal Republic of Germany at the time to demonstrate against the arms race. The Cold War is now history and its dangers seemed to have been overcome forever. But contracts from that time, which were intended to protect against armament, are expiring or are being terminated. Almost unnoticed by the public, a new era of the arms race has begun, this time with even more powerful bombs and new technologies. Short and easy to understand, our animated explanatory video shows the dangers of the modern arms race. (German with English subtitle) Interactive Website for the Körber Strategic Stability Initiative How can the rivalry between the great powers USA, Russia and China be prevented from escalating and leading to an open military conflict? Within the framework of the Körber Strategic Stability Initiative (KSSI), a joint project between IFSH and the Körber Foundation, experts from China, Russia, the USA and Europe regularly exchanged views on questions of arms control for one year. An interactive website summarizes their 19 recommendations for action and presents the project.
