The New Empire of AI

The New Empire of AI analyzes the past, present, and future of AI’s impact on societies of first, second, and third world orders. The author, Rachel Adams, posits that emerging issues of AI deployment, including its associated energy consumption, governance, and distribution of data centers and training infrastructure, will be most pronounced for third world nations. In short, first world countries may have the benefit of first-mover’s advantage in the race towards generalized AI for the neat term, while long term outcomes are still up to the influence of the global AI community (towards a more or less equitable AI-driven future).
