AI is ushering in a new era of technological competition, impacting nations, businesses, and individuals alike. Goldman Sachs Research estimates that widespread AI adoption could boost global GDP by nearly $7 trillion over a ten-year period. How will this technology impact global power dynamics, alliances, and critical domains like security, economic competitiveness, and the ethical development of increasingly autonomous systems?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Dr Eric Schmidt opinion makes a lot of sense. AI is going to be systematically changing the world in such a way that geopolitics is going to be at a great extent as different as it was the world before and after the 1st World War. And like most people didn't even see what was going to happen before 1914 many of us are clueless too. Even if we work with AI every day and are tuned to the 4th IR narrative, the world is going to be very different in 2030. Potentially the development of AI will impact society much more than Internet. 2030 is just a figure but we need to be prepared, both individually and as a part of the society, for the incoming change.
