FOUR BATTLEGROUNDS

Paul Scharre

Power in The Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is bringing a new digital order - it is changing war, surveillance, and disinformation, with profound effects on human freedom, global security, and power dynamics. This book takes us inside the immensely competitive global struggle to lead in the four key elements of AI advantage: data, computing power, talent, and institutions. A world expert in AI-enabled weapons, Paul Scharre examines the strengths and weaknesses of today's major superpowers, including China, the United States, Europe, and the Big Tech corporations that control the global supply of data and compute.

With unique access to the world of automated warfare and surveillance - including on-site visits with major Chinese players and Pentagon startups - national security expert Paul Scharre guides readers through the alarming ways the AI revolution is reshaping the world, and the challenges democracies must overcome if they hope to maintain their global edge.
