The Global Race for AI Dominance: Governments, Companies, and the Future of Work

Governments are struggling to keep up with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) as tech companies drive innovation and control the industry. AI has the potential to impact democracies, autocracies, and warfare, but its development is largely shrouded in corporate secrecy. While some tech leaders are calling for limits on AI, they continue to push forward with their own advancements. Efforts for global governance and regulation are underway, but they are still in their early stages and voluntary in nature. The lack of government control has left the industry to self-police, raising concerns about the risks and moral implications of AI. Governments are now seeking ways to balance the opportunities presented by AI with national security concerns, but face challenges in funding and staffing government institutions responsible for AI regulation.
