Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have become pivotal battlegrounds in the ongoing geopolitical struggle among the great powers. The United States, China, and Europe vie for dominance in these technologies, transforming artificial intelligence into one of the foremost platforms for geopolitical tension. While American firms strive to implement major innovations in AI, China emerges as a formidable counterpart, heavily investing in developing similar technologies, which could dramatically alter the strategic calculus in unprecedented ways. Research announcements from entities like OpenAI and DeepMind illustrate the immense efforts required to create systems that could induce profound socio-economic transformations. Nevertheless, these advancements also raise serious concerns about the potential for artificial intelligence to become weapons in future conflicts if not appropriately regulated.
