AI is becoming a geopolitical weapon, warns EU digital chief

EU digital chief Henna Virkkunen warns that artificial intelligence is increasingly being used as a geopolitical weapon, emphasizing Europe's need to develop its own strategic capabilities rather than depend on the U.S. This shift reflects growing concerns about the unpredictability and potential misuse of AI in international relations. By fostering its own tech advancements, Europe aims to assert more control over its digital future and avoid being at the mercy of external geopolitical dynamics.
