Artificial Intelligence and the Global World

Abstract

This essay analyzes the decisions made by international actors involved in the processes of the digital world, and in particular, the use of artificial intelligence. The conflict between China and the US has highlighted the tension inherent in the use of artificial intelligence and its potential to improve productivity. At the same time, investors like Microsoft and venture capital giant Sequoia do not want to slow down the development of this technology while competitors like Google and Chinese companies accelerate it. In addition to all these facts, Stephen Hawking’s approaches regarding our new technological realities must be taken into account. Ideas that are also shared by the former Vice president of Google, Geoffrey Hinton, stating that: “If there is any way to control artificial intelligence, we must discover it before it is too late.”
