Proliferation

TagLast edit: Dec 22, 2022, 10:22 AM by MichaelAšŸ”ø

Proliferation is the spread of weapons, technologies, or things useful in producing weapons or technologies to actors who did not previously have those things. The term ā€œproliferationā€ is especially associated with the spread of weapons of mass destructionā€”such as nuclear weaponsā€”or of technologies or materials useful in producing them. The term diffusion is sometimes used for the spread of other technologies, such as advanced biotechnological capabilities or advanced AI systems.
