AI and Geopolitics with Angela Merkel’s Nerd-in-Chief, Kirsten Rulf
In this episode, Kirsten Rulf joins me to discuss how artificial intelligence might change geopolitics in the 21st century. Kirsten is a 2022 Yale World Fellow and Head of Division for General Digital Policy Issues and “Nerd-in-Chief” at the Federal Chancellery of Germany in Berlin. In her strategic leadership position, Kirsten has shaped Germany’s and Europe’s role in the geopolitics of tech, first under Chancellor Angela Merkel and now under Chancellor Olaf Scholz. We discuss the rapid developments in the field of AI; challenges of AI regulation, national security implications, and more.
