AI is revolutionizing the world. Here's how democracies can come out on top. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous—in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. If we wield it for destruction, it will fan the flames of a new kind of war, one that holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose. The new fire has three sparks: data, algorithms, and computing power. These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns, new hacking tools, and military weapons that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats, AI offers the prospect of centralized control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies, bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach, will be unable to keep up. But such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with shrewd geopolitical analysis, Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the right approach, technology need not favor tyranny.

Each movement has its own tempo indication or performance description, such as Mecanique et tres sec or Lointain-Calme. Pedal markings are given in several movements, but not as meticulously as in Structures II, where Boulez specified the depth to which the pedals were to be pressed. No meter is ever indicated, but the work is divided into measures to facilitate reading. Except for the sixth movement, the work requires little technical virtuosity. The violence and rage of the Second Sonata have vanished, along with the coldness and mathematical nature of Structures.Boulez has said that he likes "works that resist easy comprehension." While Douze notations may not be easily comprehensible, it is the closest he has come to being readily understood. Full of variety and color, it is his least arrogant musical statement, his simplest piano composition, and the one most accessible to the general public. Werner Heider. Adamah; nach dem These four works, written by composers from Germany, France, and the United States and published in 1986, represent only a few of the pluralistic styles of piano writing in this decade. Serial elements are prominent in two, while the other two display elements of abstract atonality and impressionism. All are traditionally notated with only a few "special effects." Werner Heider's Adamah (1985), the most fascinating of the four, consists of twelve short movements, each written on one 113/4" x 16'/2" page. It is an eighteen-minute work
Among great powers, AI has become a new focus of competition due to its potential to transform the character of conflict and disrupt the military balance. This policy brief considers alternative paths toward AI safety and security.
How do we measure leadership in artificial intelligence, and where does the United States rank? This policy brief examines potential AI strengths of the United States and China and prescribes recommendations to ensure the United States remains ahead.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
