Can we dial down on the Putin-bashing and focus on how AI will affect the future? I dislike Putin as much as the next guy, but he's smart, he knows the trends, and what he said here is absolutely correct.
As it stands, it's the US and China (despite the Trump administration's distaste for science) that seem set on becoming the world's AI superpowers. Sorry, Russia, but I doubt it will have top-tier potential due to its relatively tiny, resource-based economy, unless Russian research progresses by leaps and bounds.
With AI, these nations can do much. AI can, for example, set central bank policy without much (or even any) human intervention. It will become an integral part of the surveillance state (and in China's case, the Great Firewall). And of course, robots are already used in warfare, and advanced AI will only be used more and more in it.
Really, the possibilities abound and their implications will be enormous. Listen to Putin; here, he sees the future.
