Tech & Geopolitics

"Welcome to the new Middle Ages – a multipolar world with AI"

Wars in the Middle East, Ukraine. Trump’s Tariffs redrawing trade maps. China’s growing dominance over tech and AI.

As we enter the age of intelligence, the global order has been on a tailspin. Changing alliances, shrinking resources and growing conflicts seem to mark the dawn of a new era. Where superpowers struggle to hold fort and smaller players can make or break the narratives.

Watch Parag Khanna, Founder & CEO, AlphaGeo, break down the new playbook of geopolitics – how we are in the new Middle Ages, why hegemonies won’t last in the current trends of power and positioning and how geography ends up having the last laugh but globalisation endures despite the odds. He is joined by Faheem Ahamed, Strategist, G42, who helps us decode the role of UAE in the shifting power equilibrium especially in the proliferation and diversification of AI in Asia, silently becoming a powerhouse with a strong sway.
