The ascent of Artificial Intelligence: How will AI change the nation-state?

When can we truly trust machines? From SIRI to self-driving cars, Google's search algorithms to autonomous weapons and drones, the past few decades have witnessed some of the fastest, almost meteoric, rises in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today, as different nation-states make choices around data, AI is shaping the privacy rights and governance rhetoric. Conversely, the "data" policies that nation-states form are also shaping the type of AI that emerges. With this backdrop, Vasant Dhar, Professor, Stern School of Business, New York University, discussed the ascent of Artificial Intelligence and its uses and implications for nation-states during a Development Seminar at Brookings India.
