Artificial Intelligence

Noah Berman (Council on Foreign Relations) writes that artificial intelligence made a generational leap in 2022 with the release of ChatGPT, created by OpenAI. Private companies control the majority of artificial intelligence development in the United States. Experts say the technology will require new rules to maximize its potential and avoid serious risks. The growing international adoption of artificial intelligence could reshape the global balance of power, with potentially dramatic geopolitical consequences

Greece – Israel

George N. Tzogopoulos (BESA Center) writes about Greece’s support for Israel’s cause. Athens’ attitude can, however, be divided into two distinct phases.

Mongolia

Mendee Jargalsaikhan, Enkhbayar Namjildorj (East Asia Forum) write that Mongolia is successfully addressing the geopolitical rivalry of great powers, the dynamics of electoral democracy and the challenges facing small resource-based economies. But current political and economic trends, if not managed with caution, could trigger further challenges for Mongolia ahead of the 2024 parliamentary elections. Ulaanbaatar, between China and Russia, continues to maintain an independent foreign policy

2 – Tomer Fadlon, Esteban Klor (INSS) write that the war between Israel and Hamas will have a significant negative impact on the Israeli economy. Estimates place the direct and indirect costs of the conflict at around 200 billion shekels. The State of Israel must not repeat the mistakes of the post-war economic management following the Yom Kippur War, which from an economic point of view led to a “lost decade”
