Artificial intelligence's incredible potential means that world governments have crucial interests in securing an edge over geopolitical rivals in the space, and advanced AI will be very important for cybersecurity at both the corporate and governmental levels. This dynamic is driving increased collaboration between technology leaders and government agencies, and it's also causing countries to be more protective of their technology assets and data. Tensions created by the new technological arms race are evident in the trade war between the U.S. and China, with the desire to secure leadership in crucial fields like AI and 5G internet representing a fundamental backdrop for the disputes between the two countries. The significance of the global competition for supremacy in artificial intelligence will likely foster close relationships between governments and leading companies in the space. Collaborations between private businesses and state entities will have a big impact on the progression of AI-dependent fields like the Internet of Things and cybersecurity.

AI For Good - UN Congress on Artificial Intelligence
Audi CEO Prof. Rupert Stadler has spoken at a congress of the United Nations about the use of artificial intelligence for the benefit of humankind. In his keynote speech at the start of the “AI for Good Global Summit,” he stated that automated driving presents an opportunity to improve life significantly. He warned, however, against excessive expectations: “In situations where an accident is unavoidable, we expect a decision from the autonomous car. But a dilemma situation cannot be solved either by a human or by a machine.” Therefore, alongside legal issues, ethical questions about the use of the new technology also needed to be discussed, he added. With the beyond initiative, Stadler is now calling for such a discourse. At the first “AI for Good Global Summit” in Geneva, the Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG said in front of UN experts: “We need a discourse in society that looks at the enormous potential of piloted and autonomous driving in relation to the ethical and legal questions.” Artificial intelligence (AI) is regarded by experts from science and industry as a key technology for piloted and autonomous driving. It assists the car in perceiving and interpreting its environment, and deriving decisions from this. But who is liable in the case of accidents, and how should the car driving autonomously behave in a situation of unavoidable danger? Prof. Stadler: “We take the concerns of the public seriously and are facing up to the challenges associated with this.”

Artificial Intelligence: The Future of Homeland Security
i24NEWS DESK | Israel is hosting an event surrounding the use of artificial intelligence for homeland security. Our Daniel Tsemach has more. Story: Israel is hosting it's first ever international event for artificial intelligence and security led by the Israel Export Institute and the Foreign Trade Administration. There were 65 representatives from around the world in attendance for the week long event, in order to find out how Artificial Intelligence can assist with homeland security. Companies were featuring A.I. technology from virtual reality to facial recognition software.

China & Russia

  • China and Russia to collaborate on strategic use of AI in military
    • News - China and Russia have agreed to work together on using artificial intelligence for military purposes, adding a new dimension to their rivalry with Washington. In a recent statement, the Russian foreign ministry stated that during talks in Beijing last week, departmental officials from both countries extensively discussed and exchanged assessments on the use of AI technology for military purposes.
    • What's their plan? Both countries have decided to work together more closely within the UN-backed Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS). The group focuses on creating guidelines for the responsible development and use of such advanced weapons. In this context, the agreement between Russia and China confirms that they have a similar approach to such weapons.
    • Why is this problematic? The rapid growth of AI has sparked concerns about lethal autonomous weapons systems. This is due to major powers like the U.S., China, and Russia investing heavily in AI without any agreed-upon rules for the technology, particularly its military use. It is also worth noting that last year, Washington launched the Political Declaration on the Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy, aiming to set global norms. This was supported by 46 countries, mainly U.S. allies like Australia, Britain, Canada, Singapore, and South Korea. However, China and Russia chose to not join this effort.

US or China Winning in AI? China the World Leader by 2030?
Matthew Voke Is China Winning in AI, or the US? Will China be the World Leader by 2030? Who's ahead in Artificial Intelligence? Is the US or China winning the AI race? In 2020, who's leading in AI Competition between China and the United States? I hear these questions frequently. China has stated that they will be the world leader by 2030, but where are they right now, and how likely are they to achieve dominance in the next decade? This video examines where the United States and China have strengths in 2020, and where they are weak. What are their approaches to innovation in Artificial Intelligence, and how will they improve over the next decade. ##Kai-Fu Lee's "AI Superpowers" Book is great: https://amzn.to/35gXZGN ##Graham Allison's "Destined for War" Book explains the thucydides' Trap: https://amzn.to/2Wme0aL Finally let's talk about the Thucydides' Trap. This is an area of concern when people begin talking about an "Artificial Intelligence Arms Race." This is NOT an Arms Race, nor should it be treated as such. I'll discuss why. I wrote this myself, used some videos under fair use - the owner is in the bottom of the video. I do not push, support, or endorse any policy, strategy, or grand strategy in this video.

What data does China have on its citizens?
The "oracle of AI" Kai Fu Lee says the data the Chinese government has collected on its citizens is "too large and too raw" to be used for AI.

Who is winning the artificial intelligence race?
In a recent talk at Stanford, Kai-Fu Lee says China has taken the lead. Lee is a venture capitalist and author of “AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the New World Order.” Who’s winning the worldwide competition to develop and exploit artificial intelligence? Not the U.S., says Kai-Fu Lee, a venture capitalist and author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the New World Order. Although researchers and tech companies in the U.S. hold the lion’s share of AI patents and are responsible for key breakthroughs in the field, the game has changed, and China is taking the lead. “We are now in the implementation phase. It’s a question of who can build the fastest,” Lee said during a recent talk at the AI Salon series presented by the Stanford Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) Initiative and the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL). Building the fastest doesn’t necessarily require the top tier of researchers. “For most applications, you don’t really need super AI experts. Young AI engineers will suffice,” he said. And China has them. Indeed, the last really significant breakthrough in AI – deep learning – was nine years ago, Lee said. “Without big breakthroughs, it is hard for the U.S to maintain its lead because AI technologies are reasonably well understood,” he said. Machine learning and artificial intelligence rely on data – lots of data – to function. And that’s where China has its biggest advantage. Not only does China have a huge population, its residents lead by far the United States in the use of mobile applications and payments. Every click, every sale, generates data. “If data is the new oil, China is the new OPEC,” Lee said. What’s more, the business environment in China is friendlier to AI companies, with more government support and less regulation than in the U.S. China’s advances in AI haven’t gone unnoticed by investors. Last year, 48 percent of the venture capital money directed to AI went to China, compared with 38 percent invested in U.S. ventures, Lee said. There are, of course, challenges posed by AI, not the least of which is the threat of job losses, a point made by Lee and two other speakers at the Salon: Susan Athey, a professor of economics at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy. Even so, the stakes in the AI race are extremely high. Over the next 11 years, AI and related technologies will account for some $11 trillion in economic activity, a sum larger than the combined economies of China and India, Lee said.

Shaping the Future of Artificial Intelligence in China
Between 2010 and 2015, artificial intelligence-related patent applications in China grew to over 8,000 submissions, up 190% from the previous five years. What is the role and responsibility of Chinese businesses to accelerate the technology’s potential while mitigating potential negative impacts for the world? Dimensions to be addressed: - New collaboration and partnership models for AI research and development - Public awareness of AI and tackling issues of public trust - (Un)blocking data flows throughout industry supply chains Speakers: - Dai Wenyuan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, 4th Paradigm Data & Technology Co., People's Republic of China. - Huang Dinglong, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Malong Technologies, People's Republic of China. - Wendell Wallach, Scholar, Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, Yale University, USA. - Wang Xiaoming, Director, Center for Innovation Strategy and Policy Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, People's Republic of China. - Yuan Hui, Chairman, Shanghai Xiaoi Robot Technology, People's Republic of China.

AI in China
The Chinese state run news agency Xinhua recently revealed the first Artificial Intelligence news anchor. They're now able to generate video of a newscaster using a model trained on real newscaster data and use it to disseminate information 24/7. When I saw this, I knew it was time to start studying China's role in the AI revolution in-depth. In this video, I'll cover China's power structure, generative adversarial networks, its startup scene, Confucianism, the social credit scoring system, algorithmic policing, surveillance, privacy, autonomous weapons, and convolutional neural networks. A lot of different topics to cover, but I hope this video provides a coherent narrative around the use of AI in China and how it plays into the global AI community. Enjoy!

Vladimir Putin at the AI ​​Journey 2019 conference on artificial intelligence.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently explained what he believes is necessary to rule the world. “If someone could guarantee themselves a monopoly in the area of artificial intelligence, the consequences are clear to us all – they would become the world ruler,” the TASS news agency cited Putin as saying. The Russian president remarked that the fight for technological superiority, including in the field of AI, has already become a field for global competition. “The speed at which new products and solutions are created is growing exponentially,” he observed. Putin noted that many countries have already chosen their strategies concerning AI. “We too, of course, must ensure our technological sovereignty in the AI field,” he said, adding that it is the most important condition for the success of Russia’s business, economy, security, defensive capability and quality of human life.
