Lucas Mendes
Global AI & Tech Geopolitics Editor
Lucas Mendes is a specialist in tech geopolitics and the AI ecosystem of China and other emerging regions. With a degree in International Relations from UnB and a specialization in Asian Studies, he follows at SWEN.AI models like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi, the tech race between the United States and China, and the emergence of new global players in artificial intelligence.
His coverage goes beyond dominant Western names: Lucas maps how India, South Korea, the UAE, and other countries are developing their own AI capabilities, and what the geopolitical diversification of AI development means for the global balance of power in the coming decades.
