In this talk Milo will describe not just the origins of the current "Chip War" between the US and China, but he will also use historical analogies to peer into how AI might develop in the future.  What are the technical, organizational, commercial and organizational challenges posed by this new technology?  Are they really unprecedented, or have we lived through analogous changes?"
