Celso Amorim, Brazil’s top foreign policy adviser and a former foreign and defence minister, declared on Tuesday that the global competition for artificial intelligence (AI) has solidified into a two-power struggle. According to Amorim, this intense rivalry is primarily waged between the United States and China.
The core elements of this AI race, as outlined by Amorim, include the control over rare earths, access to crucial data, and the establishment of rules governing AI technology. He noted that these aspects form the battlegrounds of the emerging technological landscape.
In his assessment, Amorim stated that Latin America and Europe find themselves as bystanders in this escalating US-China AI competition. He presented this view at the Forte de Copacabana International Security Conference, an annual forum held in Rio de Janeiro.
The conference is organized by the Brazilian Centre for International Relations. (Source: South China Morning Post)
