“We have to use the power of AI to improve the defenses of democracy better and faster than the adversaries of democracy might use to turn this into a weapon against it,” emphasizes Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft.

Earlier this summer, Brad Smith visited NUPI to discuss the geopolitics of artificial intelligence.

Following the NUPI roundtable, Brad Smith, NUPI Director Ulf Sverdrup, and Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), continued their conversation in a podcast, exploring questions such as:

  • How should we regulate AI?
  • How will AI impact the power balance between the US and China?
  • And how does Microsoft navigate this complex landscape?

Dive into Brad Smith’s unique insights on these questions and more, enriched by questions and commentaries from Nicolai Tangen and Ulf Sverdrup.
