In a recent discussion, the focus is on the potential of Saudi Arabia to become a leader in the AI era by leveraging its abundant resources and creating unique facilities. The conversation highlights the rapid pace of AI innovation, especially in military applications, where both sides in conflicts are quickly adopting each other's tactics. The discussion also touches on the geopolitical implications of AI, particularly the race between the US and China to develop advanced AI technologies. There is a significant concern about the potential misuse of AI by non-state actors, which poses new national security challenges. The optimism surrounding AI is tempered by the potential threats it poses, such as access to AGI by terrorists. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the need for new doctrines to address the challenges posed by autonomous drone networks in future conflicts.
