Sorry, it's more of me being tired of hearing him dismissed as a war criminal with nothing that can be gleaned from him — the comment above claimed he had nothing to teach in geopolitics (I had quoted it).
I imagine that nearly everyone with a unique perspective is capable of having interesting thoughts on AI and technology with how ubiquitous it's become. If you'd like me to venture a couple guesses as reasons for his relevance:
(1) AI will become closely intertwined with government and governmental processes.
(2) There will be an increasingly asymmetric power relationship growing with the power of AI.
He's very experienced with government, with asymmetric power relationships, and he's notorious for his belief in analyzing more than data in decisions, whereas AI will lead us towards a further reliance on data. If every government eventually has a form of AGI, it will be a fascinating and terrifying geopolitical climate akin to every government having a nuclear warhead. He knows what that evolution is like.
Anyway, my conjecture on the scrapped book aside, here's an article that allegedly led to the book [1].
