Former President of Colombia and Nobel Peace Laureate and Chair @theelders.bsky.social, Juan Manuel Santos, shared his message of urgency and hope in the face of the existential threat of nuclear war at the Global Nobel Assembly on AI and Nuclear Weapons.

What happens when artificial intelligence meets nuclear weapons? Instability and increased risk. Tristan Harris with @humanetech.bsky.social joined us at the Global Nobel Laureate Summit on AI and nuclear weapons to speak about the dangerous risk acceleration that AI brings to tech development.

81 years ago today, the first nuclear bomb was detonated at the Trinity Test Site. This was the first of over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests conducted by the nuclear armed states from 1945 to 2017, bringing intergenerational devastation to communities and the environment.

Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to humanity. The integration of AI makes that risk even higher. @nuclearban.bsky.social joins us at the Nobel Laureate Assembly on AI and Nuclear War to call for an end to these weapons through the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

When young people learn about nuclear weapons, they know abolition is the only answer. Through the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, we have the tools to make the end of nuclear weapons a reality. Learn more: IPPNW.org

30 years ago today, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued one of the most significant legal findings in the nuclear age: that the threat or use of nuclear weapons is generally contrary to international law.

The integration of AI and automation into nuclear command and control would mark a new era of exponential risk to humankind. We stand starkly against the integration of artificial intelligence into nuclear decision making. Learn more: ippnw.org/ai

Today we mark 80 years since the United States of America detonated the first of 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands, leaving a devastating lasting impact on health and the environment.

The nuclear-armed states spent 119 billion dollars on nuclear weapons in 2025. This is a 19% increase from last year. This wasted money could be better spent to address any number of humanitarian or health challenges worldwide.

Hear from IPPNW board member Stella Ziegler about the 79th #WorldHealthAssembly last month. Our delegation led events and conversations to highlight the intersections of peace, health, and climate throughout the conference.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we raise caution for the humanitarian and environmental risks of nuclear energy, as well as nuclear weapons. We need a rapid transition to renewable, non-nuclear energy to help address the climate crisis and prevent disaster.
