Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Paul Scharre
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
4.0
This book reads like an extremely long WSJ/Bloomberg article.
It’s very current (published in 2023) and that’s both good and bad, I suspect it will be badly dated even five years from now but right now it’s really quite good. Has a bit of a right wing skew but very small, just kind of an assumption that the military is a good thing and the US should remain be dominate power.
Extremely honest discussion of misuse of AI re: Uyghurs and other minorities and the risks of bad training data.
This book was very dry at times but combined with Chris Miller’s Chip War I really feel I better understand this area of tech and geopolitics better.
