A new industrial revolution has begun. Like mechanization or
electricity before it, artificial intelligence will touch every
aspect of our lives—and cause profound disruptions in the balance
of global power, especially among the AI superpowers: China, the
United States, and Europe. Autonomous weapons expert Paul Scharre
takes readers inside the fierce competition to develop and
implement this game-changing technology and dominate the future.
Four Battlegrounds argues that four key elements define this
struggle: data, computing power, talent, and institutions. Data is
a vital resource like coal or oil, but it must be collected and
refined. Advanced computer chips are the essence of computing
power—control over chip supply chains grants leverage over
rivals. Talent is about people: which country attracts the best
researchers and most advanced technology companies? The fourth
“battlefield” is maybe the most critical: the ultimate global
leader in AI will have institutions that effectively incorporate AI
into their economy, society, and especially their military.
Scharre’s account surges with futuristic technology. He explores
the ways AI systems are already discovering new strategies via
millions of war-game simulations, developing combat tactics better
than any human, tracking billions of people using biometrics, and
subtly controlling information with secret algorithms. He visits
China’s “National Team” of leading AI companies to show the
chilling synergy between China’s government, private sector, and
surveillance state. He interviews Pentagon leadership and tours
U.S. Defense Department offices in Silicon Valley, revealing deep
tensions between the military and tech giants who control data,
chips, and talent. Yet he concludes that those tensions, inherent
to our democratic system, create resilience and resistance to
autocracy in the face of overwhelmingly powerful technology.
Engaging and direct, Four Battlegrounds offers a vivid picture of
how AI is transforming warfare, global security, and the future of
human freedom—and what it will take for democracies to remain at
the forefront of the world order.
