Artificial intelligence is developing as a new revolution that affects almost all aspects of socio-economic life. The production and storage of unprecedented quantities of data, the abundance of computational resources and the huge industrial interest and investment enable AI dominance of many tasks, some of them currently done by humans. AI even enables solving problems that were previously unthinkable to tackle with and thus is expected to reshape society, economy and governance. On the other hand, the added value of AI is not expected be evenly shared among countries, thus increasing the risk for widening the gap among countries and social classes. Handling and managing the huge capabilities of AI is mainly a political decision in which powerful industries need to participate.
