There is also a silver lining, of sorts. Owing to the Trump administration’s lax attitude toward pursuing new thresholds in artificial intelligence, several people have noted to me recently that Chinese delegations that used to visit Silicon Valley on a regular basis are now staying home. One expert on U.S.-China relations told me that President Xi understands the future of A.I., and its role in both defense and economic growth, and is subsequently investing billions in resources to pursue that future. In contrast, Trump is more concerned with coal. This juxtaposition will have a considerable impact moving forward. The world we will inhabit in five years will be remarkably different from the one we live in now. Artificial intelligence, and the technologies it spawns, will lead to quantum computing—computers that are so powerful that they will jettison us into a new era of humanity, connectivity, and intelligence. Computers that will operate millions of times faster than current machines, and in turn, easily decrypt even the most advanced cryptography we use today. Computers that will work so quickly that the speed of disruption in any industry could happen not in decades, years, or even months, but rather, in an instant. And that while it may be Silicon Valley that creates these technologies, it might be an adversary who ends up using them.
