A Foreign Affairs essay on artificial intelligence and empire, co-authored by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, is drawing sharp criticism online. Commenters argue the piece openly frames AI politics as imperial and colonial politics, linking debates over AI dominance to China, Great Britain and historical empires. The essay by Ferguson, Klaassen and Schmidt has become a focal point for accusations that great-power AI strategy repeats colonial patterns.
Why now: Critics are reacting to Schmidt's Foreign Affairs essay arguing AI competition is an imperial struggle
