Artificial intelligence (AI) represents the third age of computing development. But, according to Amy Webb, AI’s subtlety makes it insidious.

Webb warns of a dark future if we fail to reckon with the social, political, and economic changes resulting from AI, as well as China’s determination to establish preeminence in it.
