Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence: Europe claiming its place amid China and the USA
November 16, 2020
In a Competitive AI Age, Europe seeks its own Industrial Niche. Our main findings show that:
- Economic gains from AI will benefit countries that develop vibrant AI-related industries, leading to vigorous
industrial and geopolitical competition between not only companies but also states, e.g. US and China. - The EU’s digital industry is carving out its place alongside the US-China duopoly. However, digital and
capital markets integration in Europe is not yet sufficient to nurture innovative players in this field. - The EU’s approach is to put the trustworthiness of AI technologies at the center of its industrial policy,
helping European companies to win future AI markets through higher quality products.
