AI Politics: Davos 2026 Dominated by Algorithms

On January 22, 2026, the World Economic Forum in Davos concluded a series of key sessions where AI became the central theme. Unlike previous years, the focus shifted from neural network capabilities to the political power they grant model owners. World leaders and heads of giants like Anthropic and Google discussed not just economic growth, but the threats of AGI to international security.

Davos 2026 demonstrated the formation of a new geopolitical axis: nations are now divided into those with sovereign AI capabilities and those in "technological dependence." A sharp topic was the risk of mass unemployment in developing countries where AI is replacing outsource industries, and the urgent need for international rules to govern autonomous decision-making systems.
