Mapping the World - Artificial Intelligence: An Instrument Of Power?

Synopsis

This is an overview of the states that have understood the importance of A.I. as a new arena of global power struggle. It also covers the Big Five: digital giants ready to pay billions to get ahead in the technological race to use big data.

It all started during the Second World War, with the machine to decipher the German coded messages designed by the British computer scientist Alan Turing. And then in the 70s the little geniuses of Silicon Valley rose to fame with the war of calculators and video games, waged between America and Japan. That was before the machine's processing power became stronger than the human brain – the first time a computer won against a champion of Go in 2016 was a telling milestone. Nowadays artificial intelligence takes the form of software for traders, household robots, personal digital assistants, and tomorrow – undoubtedly – of autonomous cars and killer robots to replace soldiers.

 

The Serie : Then complex world of geopolitics broken down into ten minute, bite-sized chunks. You'll never sound uninformed at the dinner table ever again.
