In Paris the European Union managed to find a mutually acceptable compromise with the Global South, India turned out to be able to overcome its frictions with China, and only the US and the UK preferred to challenge the emerging global AI consensus
Conventional wisdom suggests that these days the only really big fight around AI takes place between the US and China and the rest of us are sort of idle observers ...
... adapt to local laws in the field of AI ethics, which is exactly what is now happening with personal data processing, where IT companies have to adapt to the legislation of each individual country.

Artificial Intelligence and Its Partners
From a humanitarian perspective, it seems necessary to intensify cooperation between the states leading in AI and arms races (Russia, the United States and China) within the UN framework in order to effect a complete ban on the development, deployment and use of
Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS)
.
When entering international markets, developers of universal general AI systems will have to ensure that ...

The Prospects for Russia
International and Social Impacts of Artificial Intelligence Technologies. RIAC Working Paper
The political logic that guides the United States when it comes to participating in the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence may very well extend to Russia. The Trump administration formally declared the return of great power competition in its
2017 National Security Strategy
. In Washington, Russia and China are often referred to as the main rivals of the United States, promoting anti-American values.
When assessing the possibility of interaction between Russia and the GPAI, we need to look further than the political positions of the participants. According ...
... analytical center. During the seminar, Nikolay Markotkin, RIAC Media and Government Relations Manager, gave a lecture on the impact of AI technologies on the world economy and international security. In particular, his report focused on the risks of using artificial intelligence to modernize strategic weapons. The lecture was followed by a discussion on the same theme.
... relations and society. The authors also examine the ethical and legal aspects of the use of AI technologies. The present Working Paper of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) includes analytical materials prepared by experts in the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning and autonomous system, as well as by lawyers and sociologists. The materials presented here are intended to contribute to the public dialogue on issues of artificial intelligence and the possible consequences ...
... distribution speeds within such systems, and the scale of their interactions, could result in social phenomena that cannot be predicted based on prior experience and the existing models. For example, the social credit system currently
being introduced in China
is a unique experiment of truly civilizational scale that could have unpredictable consequences.
The problems of controlling artificial intelligence systems are currently associated, among other things, with the closed nature of the existing applications, which are based on “deep neural networks.” Such applications do not make it possible to validate the correctness of ...

bifurcation of the Internet
by 2028 and China’s eventual triumph in the AI race by
2030

In the meantime, the US seems more interested in deflecting the smart questions ... ... building the smart factories of tomorrow. Nothing embodies this better than the recent attempt by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and the Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) to create an

declared
that it would not work for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Then the 21st century will see two superpowers, this time the USA and China, racing after artificial intelligence.
The situation in China is completely different from that of the US. Despite the fact that a third of the world’s tech startups with capital exceeding USD 1 billion are present in China, three technological giants dominate all ...
