Key Concepts
Experts warn that the military AI race is an existential threat, and AI systems may pursue goals not aligned with ours, potentially leading to unintended consequences.
China's advantage in manufacturing, especially in drones and shipbuilding, combined with its rapid acquisition of high-end weapon systems, poses a significant challenge to the US in a potential conflict over Taiwan.
To ensure AI safety, the US and China should establish binding safety standards for AI development and use, similar to those in other powerful technology industries, and promote international cooperation to prevent a race to extinction.
