Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution and the growth of new technologies such as artificial intelligence the competition of great powers. Systems based on artificial intelligence have features that make the countries that own technology (America and China) gain more network power by benefiting from these and can play a role in the global future derived from big data. Thus, conceptualizing network competition in the 21st century raises the question of what kind of geopolitical competition the United States and China are engaged in for centrality in the key networks of the 21st century? The hypothesis is that, the US and China have engaged in geopolitical competition in technological networks in the digital and financial spheres that reflect their broader views of strategic stability as well as a structural context tinged with mistrust and rivalry. Their discourses fuel a cycle of misperceptions that can be addressed through technological trust-building measures, but a competitive cycle unlikely to be ameliorated by the ongoing network tensions of the 21st century. This article based on the descriptive-analytical approach using the method of process research and sample research, which have been used in collecting information from documentary-library sources and authentic cyberspace website.
