Former Google chief Eric Schmidt advocates against a modern 'Manhattan Project' approach to achieve AI supremacy, citing risks of provoking adversaries like China into preemptive cyber strikes. In a paper titled 'Superintelligence Strategy', co-authored with Dan Hendrycks and Alexandr Wang, they draw parallels between AI and nuclear weapons during the Cold War, warning that pursuing military dominance through AI could incite a precarious arms race and lead to instability. The authors reflect on the implications of achieving superintelligent AI, suggesting it may threaten global security and provoke conflict between nations.
Schmidt emphasizes that racing towards AI supremacy could provoke preemptive actions from rivals like China, destabilizing global security instead of ensuring it.
The paper warns that the quest for AI military dominance may lead to a desperate race that could alter the global balance of power dangerously.
