博客來The next world war won’t be fought with tanks or missiles-it will be fought with algorithms. As artificial intelligence spreads into finance, defense, and governance, it is quietly reshaping the global balance of power. The nations that control code, data, and chips will decide the winners and losers of the 21st century, leaving others trapped in dependence.
This book reveals how AI geopolitics has become the defining contest of our age, from the chip wars and compute power race between the U.S. and China to the rise of data colonialism and sovereignty struggles in smaller states. It shows how algorithms are already weaponized for disinformation, economic coercion, and surveillance-altering elections, shaping beliefs, and challenging what it means to govern.
Drawing on history, international strategy, and cutting-edge technology debates, it offers a framework to understand why AI functions like a silent bomb: an arsenal that doesn’t explode but manipulates markets, societies, and even identities. For policymakers, business leaders, and globally minded readers, it explains not just how technology works, but how it redistributes power.
Inside, you’ll discover: - Why algorithmic statecraft is replacing traditional diplomacy; - How generative AI policy and governance debates decide who leads and who follows; - What computational sovereignty frameworks reveal about the future of independence; - How disinformation and deepfakes in geopolitics will challenge democracies and empower authoritarian states
By the final page, you’ll have a new lens to read the headlines, anticipate global shifts, and understand the hidden mechanics of a future already unfolding. Clear, urgent, and provocative, this book equips you with the insight to see how power itself is being rewritten by artificial intelligence.
