Zij buigen zich over dringende vragen, zoals 'Wanneer gaat buitenlandse innovatie een bedreiging vormen?' en 'Wat is de relatie tussen publieke en private actoren in de technologische sector en de veiligheid en soevereiniteit van Europa, Rusland en China?'. Op donderdag 23 maart om 20:00 in Amsterdam en online te volgen.
European technology regulation is a dynamic process strongly influenced by how regulators and publics perceive developments in other regions of the world. For almost a century, western discourses on the technology of others have ranged from fascination to anxieties informing geopolitical decisions on how to deal with foreign technology markets.
The geopolitical imaginations of others’ technological abilities but also the (sovereign) spaces of their application in both ‘developing’ as well as leading technology markets has thus always shaped policy-making. Currently, dominant narratives such as China’s goal to become an AI superpower challenging the European market and data security, as well as Russia’s state-organized cyberspace activities abroad challenging political stability have led to a proliferation of images of a defenseless and outpaced West.
The New Geopolitics of Technology is an event series of the Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Center for European Studies and the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung.
