> The artificial intelligence chip leader's chief in October said that the U.S. can win the AI battle if the world, including China's massive developer base, runs on Nvidia systems. He, however, lamented that the Chinese government has shut it out of its market.

Laughable

zerosizedweasle•3mo ago
Bro's just trying to bully America into giving him tax payer money to make Nvidia too big to fail. Stop stealing from this country.

I'm still yet to hear a coherent explanation of what "winning" this particular race means as opposed to coming in 2nd place ?

Like is the thinking that winning = AGI and in the timespan that China has AGI and US doesn't Xi will unleash Skynet? Or is it just Americans needing to be winners in everything they do?

Yuval Noah Harari has written coherently, eloquently - consistently warning that the AI race is creating a dangerous "winner-take-all" scenario, leading to unprecedented concentration of wealth and power, both between nations and within societies. [1] His key points of this dynamic include:

A) Immense concentration of power and wealth leading to a new kind of imperialism or colonialism, where most countries that do not lead in AI development will be left far behind, potentially becoming exploited "data-colonies" providing the raw data but receiving little of the resulting wealth and power. [2]

B) Risk to global equality and democracy where a handful of countries and corporations that master AI will gain the ability to "hack" human beings—to understand, predict, and manipulate our feelings and decisions better than we can ourselves. [3] This immense power, concentrated in a few hands, poses an existential threat to democracy and could usher in an era of "algorithmic totalitarianism" or a "digital dictatorship." [4]

C) In the AI Arms Race, Harari emphasizes that "whoever wins, humanity will lose," because it prioritizes speed and dominance over safety, ethical considerations, and global cooperation. Leaders' primary fear is that their competitors will gain supremacy and eventually dominate the world. [1]

In essence, Harari views the "winner-take-all" dynamic as the core mechanism by which the AI revolution threatens to create an unprecedented, two-tiered global society—the technological "haves" and "have-nots"—with profound consequences for freedom and human civilization.
