U.S.-China-Russia Geo-Strategic Competition in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Biotechnology

Holding the technological high ground has come to be recognized as the key to success in great power competition. The rapidly evolving advancements in artificial intelligence dominate the headlines. As does the race between the United States and China for A.I. capabilities. Surprisingly little attention is paid in the media and policy circles to what A.I. advances make possible in the rapidly evolving sphere of biotechnology. This project seeks to offer timely and original insights into geostrategic competition in the age of A.I. and biotechnology by pursuing the following questions:

  • How does the political and military leadership in China view the power of biotechnology and A.I. in the context of intensifying great power competition? What are the areas of agreement? Disagreement? Contestation?聽
  • What are China鈥檚 current, emerging, and anticipated biotech capabilities?
  • How does Beijing鈥檚 approach and capabilities compare (and relate) to those of Washington and Moscow?
