The Interplay of Technology and Geopolitics: How will AI shape the Future World?

Together with the United States and China, the European Union represents one of the three main digital governance models that emerged in the first quarter of the 21st century. In recent years, and in particular in the last legislature, the EU has begun to assert its model in the technological field with greater assertiveness. However, Brussels still lacks something fundamental that Washington and Beijing possess: a certain coherence between digital policies and their own geopolitical interests. How will the new European Commission address the dilemmas of digital governance? Will the AI ​​Act be the model? More generally, is the EU ready for a geopolitics increasingly shaped by technological innovations, from bots to trolls, up to artificial intelligence?
