Ian Bremmer: How Algorithms Reshape Global Power

Power no longer starts with governments. It starts with algorithms.

In this episode, Ian Bremmer, founder and president of Eurasia Group, explains how power in the 21st century is shifting away from states and toward the companies and systems that program human behavior. Drawing on decades of advising world leaders and CEOs, Bremmer argues this change is unprecedented in speed, scale, and impact on humanity.

You’ll learn:

• Why tech companies now hold power once reserved for governments
• How algorithms shape identity, behavior, and social order
• What this shift means for global stability and leadership
• The biggest mistake leaders are making in today’s power transition

If you want to understand who really controls power today — and where it’s headed next — this conversation is essential.
