Summary/Abstract: The EU’s external relations are at a crossroads between constitutionaltransformation and AI development. In this critical contextthat will define the future of global governance, the EU’s narrative onAI is reshaping the dynamics of the world order. So far, studies regardingAI’s influence in external relations have outlined a rather unilateralapproach to geopolitical power, observing AI as an instrument of statepower that ensures national security and wins the global power competition.Conversely, my research provides a framework for investigatingthe EU’s external relations and finds that the EU is building a differentnarrative about AI centred on a strategic education agenda to ensuregood governance of AI and thus elevate its leadership on the globalstage. Using a qualitative analysis of the current scholarship on AI governancecomparatively, my thematic analysis of the EU’s external relationshighlights the role of the EU’s education agenda in managing theimpact of AI in this field.
