Paul Scharre, Vice President and Director of Studies at CNAS, joins ChinaTalk to discuss AI, military, strategy, and US-China geopolitics.


Listen in for a discussion on:



  • How AI will impact the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war;

  • How and why AI operates — whether in chess, Dota 2, or aerial dogfighting — in fundamentally different ways than humans;

  • Why AI called for a “protective response from the bureaucracy”;

  • The significance of the US’s comparative advantage over China in talent and compute — two of Scharre’s “Four Battlegrounds”;

  • The dictator’s dilemma, and how advances in AI will challenge the CCP in the coming years;

  • When in China, how to interview like a pro!
