About this listen
“Essential reading for understanding how AI will impact geopolitics and how the great powers are shaping AI.”—Chris Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Chip War
Humanity may soon create AI systems that outperform humans at virtually every cognitive task. Whoever wields that technology will gain a power unlike any in history. In The Bitter Struggle, Ben Buchanan, the first White House Special Advisor for Artificial Intelligence and currently an advisor to Anthropic, and Tantum Collins, who served on the National Security Council after five years at Google DeepMind, argue that the United States and its democratic allies must not lose this contest. But how democracies win matters most of all.
Buchanan and Collins take readers into the briefing rooms where AI CEOs privately warned about their own creations, into the Situation Room where Cabinet Secretaries debated how to choke off China’s access to AI technology, and into the Oval Office, where they helped shape President Biden's decisions. From semiconductor factories in Taiwan to city-sized data centers in America, they show why a million chips may matter more than a million troops, why AI progress has been so stunning and yet so predictable, and why the next few years may decide the next few decades. Yet inventing more powerful AI is only the beginning. Democracies must also deploy AI’s capabilities without surrendering their own values—and so far, they are failing.
The deepest challenge is not the contest with autocracy but the conflict AI will force within democracies themselves. Every choice pits security against liberty, speed against caution, power against principle. This is the bitter struggle. Democracies have every advantage they need to prevail—except, perhaps, the conviction to act.
