Rise of ‘autonomous’ agentic AI raises the geopolitical stakes
Agentic AI, unlike generative AI, can make decisions and autonomously carry out complex actions, potentially revolutionizing technopolitical rivalries between nations. These AI agents can act as personal political advisors, negotiate for governments, or manage military operations, showcasing their ability to optimize objectives and significantly boost productivity and efficiency.
This emerging technology is poised to reshape geopolitical competition across techno-economics, influence and opinion-shaping, and security. The entry of DeepSeek, a low-cost, open-source model, into the generative AI space has already disrupted the perceived US dominance in AI, signaling a shift in the balance of power and highlighting the transformative potential of agentic AI.
