   AI can't launch nukes if it doesn't have the launch codes, so don't give them to it.

      Also not sure how accessible the nuclear launch API is. I doubt we are just a REST request away from a nuclear catastrophe.

         I wouldn&#x27;t be so sure: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;970&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;970&#x2F;

         More seriously though, there&#x27;s no direct API, but playing a recording of a massive $enemy attack, AI-faked broadcasts, cutting off comms as cities in the broadcasts get &quot;nuked&quot;, and deepfaked AI calls authorising launches, and you don&#x27;t need a REST API.
