The Geopolitical Impact of Artificial Intelligence: The UN SDGs and China's strategies in Africa

The global community's fascination with artificial intelligence and its potential to revolutionize our daily lives across all fields is undeniable. However, this excitement is tempered by concerns about the risks associated with its unregulated proliferation. Some draw parallels between this situation and the industrial revolution of the 19th century, which brought about significant socio-economic, political, and ideological transformations. Just as the Industrial Revolution was not without its challenges, the uneven diffusion of artificial intelligence is leading to global distortions that could potentially limit its positive effects. This underscores the need for responsible and regulated use of AI, a topic that warrants our attention and discussion.
