This timely program will consider Artificial Intelligence in the U.S. and China—covering both where we stand now and where we’re going. For those who are not Sinophiles, it’s jaw-dropping to realize that during just three years, China moved from a second-tier copycat to an A.I. superpower that in many ways rivals the U.S. But on October 7, 2022 the Biden Administration announced export controls intended to strangle the Chinese AI industry. We will look at this exercise of U.S. technological and geopolitical power on an incredible scale, and its geopolitical ramifications for military as well as commercial purposes.
