Geopolitics of AI: Europe, China, the US and Latin America's position
I argue that the geopolitics of artificial intelligence is no longer a technical debate but a civilisational contest between three models —the European rights-based model (EU AI Act), the Chinese stability-based model (BSL standards) and the US innovation-based model (NIST AI RMF). My thesis: Latin America cannot be the agentic colony of any of them. This whitepaper articulates a comparative analysis of the three regimes and proposes the Qualitas Doctrine as an ethical matrix for a coordinated Latin American agentic sovereignty via Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance, within the framework of Industry 6.0 and the AI Peoples. I deliver an operational roadmap for 2026-2030.
