🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳 FORMER U.S. SECURITY OFFICIAL WARNS AGI RACE COULD LEAD TO MILITARY CONFLICT
Former U.S. national security official Jacob Stokes has urged Washington to prepare for the possibility of China developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) first, including considering cyber operations and, in the most extreme scenario, physical strikes on Chinese AI data centers.
His new “Superpowers and AGI” report calls military strikes the “most dangerous” option because they could trigger a major escalation between the U.S. and China. The report also acknowledges that the timing and even possibility of AGI remain uncertain.
