The Geopolitics of New Technologies
Julian Ringhof (ECFR), Marta Galceran (CIDOB). Moderator: Cèlia Cernadas (Catalunya Ràdio & IBEI Alumni)
WHO CONTROLS TOMORROW'S TECHNOLOGIES?
The rise of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology or quantum computers will change the lives of a large part of humanity. Being at the forefront of this advance is a geopolitical question that will imply economic prosperity and military strength for any country. Great powers have entered a global race to take the lead in these technologies of tomorrow.
The speakers will analyse how new technologies can alter or consolidate the configuration of global power.
