Smart Partnerships amid Great Power Competition - AI, China, and the Global Quest for Digital Sovereignty

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Jan 26, 2021 | Atlantic Council, Mathew Burrows, Julian Mueller-Kaler

The experimental nature of emerging technologies calls for regulatory cooperation, even while AI development has become a new playing field for great power competition. In this article for the Atlantic Council, Mathew Burrows and Julian Mueller-Kaler summarise various roundtable conversations about the challenges and opportunities that different regions of the world face when dealing with emerging technologies, and evaluate China’s role as a global citizen. Against a background of economic decoupling and rising geopolitical bipolarity, they highlight opportunities for smart partnerships, describe how data and AI applications can be harnessed for good, and develop scenarios on where an AI-powered world might be headed.
