AI strategy reading list: how international competition shapes tech's societal impact
luke_drago_ · x · 2026-09-23
Sharing highlights from a MATS stream reading list on AI strategy and governance. This pick is "Anarchy as Architect" by Morgan McInnes, Ben Garfinkel, and Allan Dafoe: it argues state welfare conditions are set in part by international competition, and new technologies can shift that competitiveness equilibrium up or down.
Also recommended first among AI-econ readings: "Economic Growth Under Transformative AI" by Pavitra Rammell and Anton Korinek, which walks through multiple scenarios based on which tasks AI can substitute for and to what degree (sections 2 and 7 mandatory).
