Strategic Implications of AI on Global Geopolitics & Geoeconomics

Objective: The session aims to provide a platform for a deep and analytical exploration of how AI is reshaping the geopolitical and geo-economic landscapes. We will investigate the multifaceted impacts of AI on international power structures, economic development, and strategic competition, with a particular focus on the nuanced interplay between technological advancements and statecraft.

Points of Discussion:

• What specific geopolitical risks and opportunities does the advancement of AI present for small and medium-sized economies in the global economy?
• In what ways might AI-driven economic growth (if there is any) in the global economy (esp. the Indo-Pacific region) reshape global trade patterns and economic alliances?
• What are the potential impacts of AI on the labour markets of the global economy, and how might this affect migration patterns and international relations?
• How might the integration of AI in critical infrastructure within the Indo-Pacific region alter strategic dependencies and vulnerabilities on a global scale?
