In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed from a theoretical wonder to a real force, and with it the race to dominate new technologies is proving to be a key geopolitical concern. 

The panel discussion aims at presenting the forthcoming Handbook on AI and International Relations.
