[...] Similarly, the emergence o f increasingly s ophisticated A I models i s already revolutionising a r aft o f industries and driving innovation across multiple commercial sectors.4 T he speed o f technological development also marks a s ignificant s tep t owards t he creation o f ever more powerful forms of A I and t he strategic capabilities o f the f uture. [...] The a bility of AI to cut across capability sets , by 1 4 contrast, m akes i t unique: AI can enable all a spects of development like an underlying ‘ super resource ’, m eaning it can be treated as a n input akin to t he early 20th century’s steel and i ron and , at the same t ime, a s a r efined output.
