Initiative on AI Geopolitical & Economic Impact
The Future of AI & Digital Economy Program (FAIDE)
The Research Initiative
The CSGEF Initiative on AI Geopolitical & Economic Impact (GEI) research program is designed to analyze, evaluate, and provide actionable perceptions on how AI transformation is reshaping global economic systems and geopolitical power dynamics. Drawing on systematic analytical frameworks and contemporary developments, this initiative examines the prerequisites, principles, parameters, criteria, and categorical variations of AI-driven economic and geopolitical transformation across diverse national, regional, & global contexts.
