This episode focuses on the international dimension of AI and the so-called global ‘AI race’. It provides a detailed analysis of key required resources, layers and players (energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and apps) and examines the difficulties and illusions about any single country achieving ‘AI sovereignty’.
The podcast also explores the rivalry between the US and China and examines the role Europe and the European Union (including the ‘EU AI act’) could play and why EU policy-makers should resist the temptation of watering down the EU’s regulatory power.
