Winning the Race to Exascale Computing – AI, Computing Power and Geopolitics (4)
This article focuses on the race to exascale computing and its multi-dimensional political and geopolitical impacts, a crucial response major actors are implementing in terms of High Performance Computing (HPC) power, notably for the development of their artificial intelligence (AI) systems. It thus ends for now our series on HPC as driver of and stake for AI, among the five we identified in Artificial Intelligence – Forces, Drivers and Stakes: the classical big data, HPC and the race to quantum supremacy as related critical uncertainty, algorithms, “sensors and expressors”, and finally needs and usages.

深海资源简介
在当代 "资源秩序 "中，人类社会目前面临着资源的不断减少和对资源的不断竞争。因此，除此之外，根据处理这一挑战的其他方式，新的资源类型和来源越来越有价值，可以为政体以及整个人类带来战略性的改变。同时，如果我们要从我们令人担忧的现状中吸取教训，我们还必须不断确保这些新的潜在资源的开采和使用不会对地球及其生态系统，包括我们所属的这种生物多样性产生任何不利的影响。* 正如现在已知的自19世纪末（Ifremer, les Nodules, 2012），矿产资源位于...

The question of a putative decline of the U.S. regularly emerges in international relations and in the media since at least the 1970s (Kenneth Waltz; Theory of International Politics, 1979: 177-178). However, each …

Pattern – Towards Polarization in the Western World?
The pattern that has been emerging over at least the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century is a rising polarization within Western society – or societies. In this article, we identified and analysed the trend through the related signal – the 14 November 2012 strikes. We evaluated the evolution toward polarization as …
2212 EVT - 情景2 - 彭格列斯。老样子，老样子
Last weeks’ summary: In 2012 EVT, Everstate (the ideal-type corresponding to our very real countries created to foresee the future of governance and of the modern nation-state) knows a rising dissatisfaction of its population. Everstate is plagued by a deepening budget deficit and an increasing need for liquidity, with a related creeping appropriation of resources while the strength of central public power weakens to the profit of various elite groups. An outdated world-view that promotes misunderstanding, disconnect and thus inadequate actions presides to its destiny. Henceforth, the political authorities are increasingly unable to deliver the security citizens seek. Risks to the legitimacy of the whole system increases. Alarmed by the rising difficulties and widespread discontent, the governing authorities decide to do something. Of the three potential scenarios or stories that …
