2028: Two scenarios for global AI leadership
The article discusses the competition in AI development between the US and China, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a technological edge. It presents two potential scenarios for 2028, one where the US successfully defends its advantage and another where it fails to act, allowing China to catch up. The piece highlights the implications of these scenarios for global AI governance and the risks posed by authoritarian regimes.
- ▪The US government currently limits China's access to advanced computer chips through export controls.
- ▪In one scenario, America successfully defends its compute advantage and engages with China on AI safety.
- ▪In the alternative scenario, a lack of action allows China to catch up, leading to AI norms shaped by authoritarian regimes.
