Is a path truly independent of 🇨🇳 & 🇺🇸 realistic when it comes to Artifical Superintelligence? To explore prospects and geopolitical implications of #ASI, the Tech Strategy Initiative brought together their interdisciplinary expert group alongside #MLMNewDelhi
Their takeaways⬇️

[Munich Security Conference @MunSecConf]

Wolfgang @ischinger: "I take away from this meeting that there is not yet a consensus on how Middle Powers can play a role in the ASI discussion. In our group I experienced doubt whether a path truly independent of China and the US to ASI is realistic."
