- Leaders at the 2026 G7 Summit in Évian, France, place significant importance on artificial intelligence (AI) alongside trade, national security, and geopolitics.
- AI’s role has evolved from a commercial technology to a strategic issue influencing national security, economic competitiveness, and global governance.
- Five distinct centers of power are shaping AI: political authority (governments), technological authority (Silicon Valley), moral authority (the Vatican), national strategy (The White House), and strategic competition (America’s adversaries).
- Cyber defense and national security issues are prominently affected by AI’s advancements, leading to new governance challenges.
- The race to create AI will shape technology, but the race to govern it will determine societal structures and trust in the coming years.
