CHAPTER

Geopolitics of AI and Export Controls

This chapter examines the implications of export controls on artificial intelligence in the context of rising tensions between the U.S. and China, especially regarding the threat of AGI transitioning to superintelligence. It highlights the strategic motivations behind these controls, the potential for escalating conflicts, and the complexities of international cooperation in managing AI technologies. The discussion also considers historical deterrents, Taiwan's security, and the need for transparency and regulation akin to nuclear arms treaties.
