Second Policy Brief available: The Geopolitics of AI from Software, Hardware to Mineral resources

Why ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek (and All the Others) Are More Than Just Tools

🇬🇧 LLM Governance & Tech Diplomacy · AI Dependency Risks · Auditability Asymetry

The geopolitics of AI is not just playing out between Washington, Brussels, and Beijing. It is also unfolding in hashtag#Rabat, hashtag#Nairobi, hashtag#Hanoi, hashtag#Bogotá, and in all other countries and cities—everywhere operators deploy systems they cannot question, in frameworks that do not give them the tools to do so.

But, what does “AI geopolitics” actually mean?

We hear about “geopolitical competition” in AI—but what does it entail for ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or Mistral? Beyond buzzwords, it’s about who controls the infrastructures shaping global decisions.

Here is the second policy brief that seeks to explain why AI infrastructure is the new geopolitical battleground, and what this means for countries that did not participate in shaping the rules :

🔹 Why LLMs are not just tools, but geopolitical levers.
🔹 How dependency on AI systems reshapes power dynamics.
🔹 The risks of an unchecked auditability divide.

A general-interest version in French will be available soon.
