(P02) (INCYBER) Digital revolution and geopolitical upheaval: is Europe still in the race?

The emergence of artificial intelligence will radically change global geopolitics. Given the economic and industrial—not to mention political and military—advantages AI brings, governments are in a frantic race to develop this technology. So much so that Elon Musk tweeted in 2017: “Competition for AI superiority at national level [is the] most likely cause of World War 3”. Where does Europe—currently outpaced by the US and China—stand in this race? Or will these technologies reshuffle the deck, upending the business models that have made GAFAM (Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft) and BATX (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi) so successful? In terms of technology, is the development of “Edge AI”, with execution as close as possible to local data, an opportunity? In the age of AI, what new power levers can we use to support our strategy? How do we tap into the formidable pool of skills available to us? What industrial policy should be developed to support European ambitions? As an inherently stabilizing power, can the European Union turn the concept of trusted AI into a global opportunity?
