A Pebble in the AI Race
This addresses the challenge of AI adaptation for small, vulnerable nations like Bhutan, though it appears conceptual rather than technical.
The paper examines how Bhutan, a small nation, can respond to the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on economic, political, and social systems, aiming to identify strategies for not just surviving but thriving in this new era.
Bhutan is sometimes described as \a pebble between two boulders", a small country caught between the two most populous nations on earth: India and China. This pebble is, however, about to be caught up in a vortex: the transformation of our economic, political and social orders by new technologies like Artificial Intelligence. What can a small nation like Bhutan hope to do in the face of such change? What should the nation do, not just to weather this storm, but to become a better place in which to live?
