The Origin of AI Geopolitics
When Go.AI was published in 2018, artificial intelligence was primarily viewed through a commercial lens. Abishur Prakash, also known worldwide as "Mr. Geopolitics," identified a critical shift that was quietly being overlooked: AI was being viewed by governments through the lens of statecraft and power.
Go.AI introduced paradigms and concepts that today underpin the global conversation and projects around tech, foreign policy, and AI investments, including:
AI Sovereignty: How nations are using AI to redefine their sovereignty - economic, cultural, political, and social - and how this is transforming relationships and trade.
Algorithmic Foreign Policy: How nations are using AI to predict events on the world stage, changing how nations behave with one another.
Global AI Arms Race: The different AI verticals that opposing powers are investing in to outsmart the other.
