Viral ‘Europe 2031’ scenario warns EU will be ‘torn apart’ by US and China

 A viral thought experiment called Europe 2031 warns the EU’s 27 nations risk being “torn apart” by the US and China within years, as America hoards AI compute and China dominates robotics. The Brussels scenario, now read by MEPs and policymakers, urges Europe to build datacentres fast. Critics note several cited AI mega-deals have already collapsed, but its authors insist the broad warning still holds. A viral thought experiment called Europe 2031 warns the EU’s 27 nations risk being “torn apart” by the US and China within years, as America hoards AI compute and China dominates robotics.
