Abstract

The digital age has reshaped global geopolitics and economic power dynamics with technology at the core of international relations. Nations and corporations vie for supremacy in strategic sectors like artificial intelligence, 5G and quantum computing, transforming traditional power dynamics. Data is the new oil, the oil that fuels economic growth and strikes in the public policy. The geopolitical competitive landscape especially between tech behemoths like the U.S. and China emphasizes the dual nature of technology as a means to prosperity and as a potential purveyor of conflict. Cybersecurity, digital sovereignty and the ethical use of AI are just some of the issues that highlight the complexities of global governance in the digital age. Connecting the digital gap and ensuring equal access to technology remain interrelated issues that must be resolved to achieve a balanced and sustainable international order.
