The emergence of certain generative AI models will mark a turning point with undeniable geopolitical implications.<\/h2>\n\n

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a top-tier geopolitical risk that is changing the rules of the game\u2014rules that had seemed immutable for decades. Indeed, its ability to reshape economic power and national security has sparked an arms and technology race in which dependence on foreign infrastructure and widespread disinformation threaten the sovereignty of states, societies, companies, economies, financial systems, and the democratic stability of nations (\u2026)<\/p>\n\n

As we concluded in a recent study titled \u201cArtificial Intelligence-Driven Scalability and Its Impact on the Sustainability and Valuation of Traditional Firms,\u201d published in the journal *Humanities and Social Sciences Communications*, the impact of AI is positive on both market value and business scalability, as well as on the financial sustainability of companies.<\/p>\n\n

Therefore, its use as a geopolitical weapon has enormous repercussions across a wide range of sectors (defense, security, technology, the economy and financial markets, energy, supply chains, information, etc.), potentially causing serious disruptions and even rendering \u201cour current daily way of life\u201d impossible\u2014from the use of credit cards to banking transactions, including the use of apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. (\u2026)<\/p>\n\n

In short, we are facing a new reality: the arrival of certain generative AI models will mark a turning point in the technology industry, with undeniable implications for geopolitics and digital sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n
