History

Historical Context

After the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Hot Line Agreement on June 20 1963, installing a direct link first used on August 30 1963 to shorten diplomatic exchanges. Subsequent upgrades added fax in 1986 and de-confliction lines for cyber (2012) and Ukraine (2022). Today Governor Josh Shapiro and China’s security minister Chen Yixin cite that Cold-War precedent while proposing an AI-incident hotline.
