Much U.S. thinking about artificial intelligence (AI) strategy assumes that national advantage will come from mastering the technology stack. But RAND's Michael Mazarr argues that success in the AI era is a social—not strictly technological—challenge. In this Policy Lab webinar, Mazarr argues that success in the AI era depends as much on people, governance, and opportunity as on AI itself.
