Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence

The Geopolitics of Artificial IntelligenceAn evening with Alessandro Aresu Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy, but its future depends on much more than algorithms. Advanced chips, computing power, energy, investment and the companies that control them have become central to international competition. Drawing on his book Geopolitica dell’intelligenza artificiale, Alessandro Aresu will explore the people and industrial networks behind the AI revolution. He will examine how competition between the United States and China is changing technology supply chains, what it means for other countries, and how governments can respond to a field increasingly shaped by a small number of powerful firms. The conference offers a clear-eyed look at AI as a question of industry, strategy and global power. 28 October 2026 · 6:00 pmThe University Club of Western AustraliaFree admission · Registration required via the link in bio Presented by the Consulate of Italy in Perth in collaboration with the Australian Institute of International Affairs WA and the Italian Academic Network WA.
