My views on the AI Race
Hello, it's Rashid 👋. Over the years, I've ventured in various technological domains, ranging from Software Interface Design and Development to Generative AI. Recently, I've been captivated by the broader geopolitical implications of advancements in AI.
This series is a personal quest to understand the complex relationship between history, geopolitics, and technological innovations. My focus narrows down to the rising prominence of artificial intelligence and how it influences the global balance of power. My perspectives are informed by experts such as Ray Dalio's understanding of global dynamics and Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about AI's future.
⚠️ A word of caution: These are purely my personal views. I encourage you to view them as low resolution arguments and not definitive analyses. My aim isn't to offer the ultimate truth, but rather to share my personal reflections. I cherish discussions and openly welcome diverse viewpoints, challenges, and feedback.
