Defense Industrial Base --- I find it very interesting how the US picked "Defense Industrial Base" as one of CIs. I am not surprised by it, mind you. Considering the US's global position, I cannot dispute that it should be considered one of its CIs. But this reveals to me, very clearly, how this concept is influenced by culture and politics. I can even connect this to the topic of AI. A few years back there was an intense debate over Ethical AI guidelines, many organisations were proposing lists of principles. When faced with that I think it's easy to look at them and try to collate it all together under the assumption that a "super list" would be the most complete. But I think it must be similar to what I mentioned about CIs being culturally-influenced. The "good" approach to CIs and to AI must be tailored to each country, I believe.
