Perhaps an AI system that is programmed to stop the super stupidity of any political decisions between nuclear powers to go to war could be implemented. As AI and our high tech productive capabilities could not be safe anywhere on the globe in an age of modern weaponry such a bulwark against human stupidity seems urgently necessary. This would be nothing like a Skynet system of national defense a la the Terminator movies which is an equally super stupid idea.

What future creators of AI need to program into it is a strong sense of graciousness as this is the only thing that has kept humanity from destroying itself. Of course humanity needs to contemplate exactly the same thing.
