The race for global supremacy in AI has been posited as a defining technological and political challenge in the 21st century. Nations pouring unparalleled resources into AI infrastructure mark a developing trend in international power shifts comparable to the nuclear arms race.
Recent activities reveal an increasingly close relationship between digital technology and political leadership. The UK’s 50-point AI Opportunities Plan was announced, while OpenAI published its economic blueprint “AI in America,” with the book promoting infrastructural development. CEO Dario Amodei of Anthropic and former National Security Advisor Matt Potinger believe the country should maintain its AI advantage, supporting initiatives such as the $500-billion Stargate private investment project.
In his final book, Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit, co-authored with Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Henry Kissinger stresses the urgency of developing AI within the context of geopolitics and national interests. The book discusses AI as humanity’s new frontier and defines the crucial choices ahead. It paints a picture of humankind either co-evolving with artificial intelligence or coexisting alongside it.
The stakes in this technological race extend beyond national borders. The United States and China emerge as primary competitors, while the European Union positions itself as a regulatory authority. Integrating AI into government policy and decision-making processes raises fundamental questions about democracy, security, and the future of human civilization.
This new arms race centers not on nuclear capabilities but on computational power and AI sovereignty. Its national security implications could reshape global power structures for generations to come. As nations invest in sovereign AI capabilities, the challenge of aligning these systems with human values while maintaining technological competitiveness becomes increasingly critical.
