Multipolarity Dialogues is a series of special multipolarity interviews that scan the geopolitical horizon. We talk to some of the sharpest analysts, thinkers, and experts about how they see the world beyond the visible edge of the geopolitical.
In this episode, Steve Hsu.
Where to start with Steve? He’s a member of that tiny sliver of humans who have managed to make significant contributions to multiple fields of academia, including quantum physics, dark energy, and computational genomics.
Outside academia, Steve has founded multiple startups and has been involved in AI and information security. He's also one of the most prominent of the Silicon Valley adjacent public intellectuals.
Tonight we'll be tapping the capricious brain of this polymath to address two of the questions most pertinent to the future of American Power. AI and the future of warfare.
Can America beat China in the AI race? What are the differences in the approaches the two are taking beyond the well-known cost differential? What are the various likely scenarios for the outcome of this highest of high stakes versions of the VHS versus Betamax race, and what does it all mean for humanity?
Meanwhile, how have cheap drones and missiles really changed the nature of warfare? And do they spell the end for the two century long era of maritime powers dominating the world?
