In the rapidly evolving world of technology, a significant global divide is emerging that could reshape international power dynamics. According to Eduardo Viola, a political scientist and international relations professor, the race for technological supremacy is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing at the forefront of this transformation.

The United States and China are leading this technological arms race, focusing on developing what Viola calls "super artificial intelligence" – a capability that far surpasses average human intelligence. This development is happening much faster than previous technological revolutions, such as the nuclear era, and is fundamentally changing how global power is understood and measured.

For regions like Latin America, this technological gap presents a serious challenge. Viola warns that countries not at the forefront of AI and quantum computing development are likely to fall further behind. The rapid advancements by global powers mean that technological inequality could become even more pronounced, potentially leaving less developed regions increasingly marginalized in the global technological landscape.
