Report Release: Shaping Power- AI’s Impact on Grand Strategy in the Indo-Pacific

In this latest report, within the framings of Grand Strategy, we look at potential reaction to global upheavals from emerging AI technology in the Indo-Pacific. We analyse convergences and divergences between the private sector that holds the reins for the development of the technology, vis a vis the government that controls the freedom to deploy.

Grand Strategy has traditionally been the domain of “great powers”, as historically influencing the global system was seen as a task only a few states were capable of undertaking. However, in today’s interconnected world, the smallest of responses to emerging global challenges from any country could have global repercussions.

The grand strategy framings presented in this report help better understand the nuances of the trends when AI is added to risk scenarios that force strategic thinking and a shift in policy. The framings presented in this report will contribute to a deeper understanding of the diverse countries within the Indo-Pacific region and their approaches to AI, to prepare for current and future risks. Particularly as emerging technology are increasingly considered for solutions to fundamental survival such as food security, economic security, infrastructure development, and disaster mitigation and management.
