The current boom in artificial intelligence may have significant impacts on global security. Emerging dual-use and military applications create new realities on battlefields and beyond. The CNTR Monitor 2025 examines current challenges and opportunities posed by AI. Instead of long-term doomsday scenarios, it looks at how AI has materialized in existing systems and why we need new approaches to regulation.

Three major implications are considered. First, the growing use of AI in military planning and strategic state behavior. Second, dual-use risks emerging in domains such as biotechnology and chemical synthesis. Third, opportunities and challenges of using AI for verification and monitoring in arms control. In addition, the CNTR Monitor sheds light on selected recent technology trends and analyzes their implications for global security.
