The power of AI and Portugal's disengagement

Correio da Manhã28 August 2026 at 00:30

The article addresses Portugal's position regarding the development of artificial intelligence, suggesting that the country is removed from the main global technological dynamics. Europe, including Portugal, is described as vulnerable in the face of two technological superpowers' hegemony.

The United States and China are presented as the dominant forces in the field of artificial intelligence, leaving Europe in a position of strategic fragility. This dynamic places the European continent before a significant challenge of technological sovereignty.

The article warns of the risk of European loss of control over technologies that will shape the economic and geopolitical future. Dependence on American and Chinese powers emerges as a consequence of this inability to keep pace with the pace of innovation.
