Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Defense - Thematic Intelligence


Summary

Public interest in AI has surged since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022; however, AI has been a part of countries’ larger military strategies for decades. Rapid progress in AI has made it a key battleground technology for countries like the US and China, who have each enacted policies to limit the other's access to materials and technology associated with AI research and development (R&D).

In August 2022, the US signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act which includes measures designed to limit China’s access to US chip manufacturing technology. Further export restrictions were also announced in October 2022 to prevent the export of US semiconductors to China. In response, in July 2023, China enacted export controls on gallium and germanium, rare earth elements crucial to the manufacture of semiconductors and solar cells. The escalation of the US-China tech war demonstrates how crucial AI is to global superpowers' political, economic, and military strategies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
