Countries and companies are racing to dominate the artificial intelligence economy. But dangers abound. The two main pillars of AI — data and power — are extremely vulnerable to supply shocks and attacks, as Jared Cohen recently argued in Foreign Policy. As the world relies more and more on this critical technology, what parts of its infrastructure are most susceptible? What can be done to protect it?

Cohen, the president of global affairs at Goldman Sachs, joined FP Live for a discussion exploring the risks, downfalls, and opportunities of the growing artificial intelligence industry. 

Note: This discussion is part of a series of episodes brought to you by the Goldman Sachs Global Institute.
