This chapter explores the need for regulation in the tech industry and the potential risks and dangers of AI. It discusses the race between the US and China in technological dominance and the importance of considering the interaction between different layers of society in the technology war. The chapter also highlights the potential use of AI technologies in politics and elections, as well as the need for accountability and consequences for social media platforms.
