Artificial intelligence is impossible to disregard – it is set to transform society, the economy, and politics.
Europe has not yet taken all the steps it needs to benefit from these advances or to protect itself from AI’s potentially dangerous aspects.
The US, China, and Russia are alert to AI’s power to change modern warfare: they grasp the geopolitics of AI and may pursue techno-nationalist agendas in recognition of this.
Europe can develop sovereignty in AI by beefing up the talent, data, and hardware it draws on; and as a “regulatory superpower” it can set standards the rest of the world will have to follow.
If Europe does not address these difficult questions soon it will find itself surrounded by more powerful rivals deploying AI against it.
