In his new book Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence, author Alessandro Aresu – political scientist and strategic analyst, former political advisor to the Draghi and Meloni governments – guides us through an intellectual adventure that weaves together technology, economics and international politics. A work that every European interested in the future of their continent should read.

Aresu tackles a decisive topic for the 21st century: artificial intelligence, not only as a technological innovation, but as a fulcrum of global geopolitical dynamics. In clear and engaging language, the author explores the American and Chinese dominance in this field and strongly emphasises Europe’s backwardness. It is a cry of alarm, a call to action to build a common strategic vision capable of transforming the continent into a relevant player in global competition.

The book highlights how talent migrates to North America, attracted by resources and opportunities that Europe struggles to offer. This brain drain is not just an economic loss, but an open wound at the heart of European identity. Aresu’s narrative spurs us to reflect on what it really means to be a protagonist in the ongoing technological revolution.

But the text does not limit itself to analysis: it proposes scenarios, asks fundamental questions and challenges the reader to imagine a different, bolder Europe, capable of building its own technological autonomy. Because it is not enough to discuss regulations or AI ethics: Europe must invest, innovate, take risks.

This book is an intellectual call to arms. If you are ready to question certainties and prejudices, if you want to understand the changing world and the role that Europe could, and should, play, Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence is the book for you.

Don’t just read it: discuss it, share it, use it as inspiration to imagine the future of Europe in an era dominated by technology. A must buy for anyone who cares about Europe’s destiny.
