An Artificial Intelligence Arms Race is a arms race that involves multiple technically-strong organizations in the accelerated deployment of artificial intelligence technologies for dominance.
- Context:
- It can be driven by various motivations such as National Security, Economic Gains, or Technological Leadership.
- It can involve Governmental Bodies, Private Sector Companies, or a collaboration between the two.
- It can raise ethical and governance concerns, such as the responsible use of AI, data privacy, and potential for misuse or unintended consequences.
- It can create a cycle where rapid advancements in one entity push others to accelerate their own AI initiatives, often leading to reduced time for adequate testing, review, and regulation.
- It can manifest in various domains such as Military AI, Healthcare AI, Financial AI, and Consumer AI.
- It can be regulated or influenced by international agreements, though such regulation is challenging due to the fast-paced nature of AI development and deployment.

- Example(s):
- Competitive Autonomous Weapon Development (for autonomous weapons).
- Aggressive Large Language Model Development by a U.S. Military and Chinese Military.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- Collaborative international AI research projects aimed at solving global challenges, such as climate change or pandemics.
- An individual or a small team developing AI solutions without competing against other entities.

- A military artificial intelligence arms race is an arms race between two or more states to develop and deploy lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS). Since the mid-2010s, many analysts have noted the emergence of such an arms race between global superpowers for better military AI,[1] [2] driven by increasing geopolitical and military tensions. An AI arms race is sometimes placed in the context of an AI Cold War between the US and China.
