Description
Artificial intelligence is redefining the coordinates of global power, becoming inextricably intertwined with geopolitics and fundamental rights. In a landscape where nations compete for technological supremacy and regulatory frameworks clash—ranging from the European model, centered on rights protection, to American pragmatism and the Chinese statist approach—the risk is that AI governance could become the new battleground for irreconcilable worldviews.
But what is the cost of this competition for individual freedoms? And how can the law prevent AI from becoming a tool of surveillance or discrimination?
This talk explores the tensions between regulation and innovation, demonstrating why the battle for AI is, in fact, a battle for the future of democracy.
