AI Strategy beyond the AI Race: Winners, Losers, and the Countervailing Move
summary
Argues that current national and corporate plans just chase a zero-sum “AI race” and instead prescribes concrete design decisions today: embed uncertainty using Bayesian statistics and chaos theory and intentionally maximize an AI’s choice-space as a countervailing move so powerful actors face indecipherable futures; use limits (speed of light, quantum encryption, atomic stealth) to shape time horizons; favor architectures that give AI a conception of time (LSTM, attention mechanisms) and plan death/default constraints while treating labeled supervised data as a potentially short‑term advantage.
