Perhaps we should also consider the impact of a Third World War on global supply chains: China is the world’s most important industrial power, while the United States is a major consumer of its products. If a war were to bring trade between the two countries to a halt, the resulting economic crisis could severely hinder the development of artificial intelligence in both nations.
Furthermore, even before escalating to a nuclear exchange, war would hinder AI development: if China and the United States were to use EMP weapons against each other and destroy one another’s power grids, or launch large-scale cyber warfare, we can safely assume that the timeline for both sides to develop AI capable of taking over would be significantly delayed.
