Never has a technology established itself so quickly, so deeply, in so many dimensions of our societies. Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract promise: it is in our factories, our hospitals, our battlefields. It eliminates jobs, rewrites the rules of democracy, and reshapes global power dynamics.
Behind this technological revolution lies a war. “Whoever becomes the leader in the field of AI will be the ruler of the world,” declared Vladimir Putin in 2017. Today, two empires are facing off: the United States and China. A battle not of missiles, but of algorithms, chips, and data centers, the outcome of which will determine who controls the infrastructure of intelligence, and with it, the hierarchy of the world.
