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!
