AI Military Competition: Tactical, Operational, and Strategic Implications

Listen Later

Paul Scharre, Vice President and Director of Studies at CNAS, joins ChinaTalk to discuss AI, military, strategy, and US-China geopolitics.

Listen in for a discussion on:

  • How AI will impact the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war
  • How and why AI operates — whether in chess, Dota 2, or aerial dogfighting — in fundamentally different ways than humans;
  • Why AI called for a “protective response from the bureaucracy”
  • The significance of the US’s comparative advantage over China in talent and compute — two of Scharre’s “Four Battlegrounds”;
  • The dictator’s dilemma, and how advances in AI will challenge the CCP in the coming years;
  • When in China, how to interview like a pro!
