THE NEW FIRE - BEN BUCHANAN ANDREW IMBRIE GEBUNDEN

AI is revolutionizing the world. Here's how democracies can come out on top. Artificial
intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous-in our homes and offices  in
the present and most certainly in the future. Today  we encounter AI as our distant ancestors
once encountered fire. If we manage AI well  it will become a force for good  lighting the way
to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly  it will advance beyond our
control. If we wield it for destruction  it will fan the flames of a new kind of war  one that
holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The
New Fire  few choices are more urgent-or more fascinating-than how we harness this technology
and for what purpose. The new fire has three sparks: data  algorithms  and computing power.
These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns  new hacking tools  and military weapons
that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats  AI offers the prospect of centralized
control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies 
bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach  will be unable to keep up. But
such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with
shrewd geopolitical analysis  Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the
right approach  technology need not favor tyranny.
