Never has a technology spread as quickly, as deeply, into 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.

Today, two empires are facing off: the United States and China. A battle not of missiles, but of algorithms, chips, and data centers, whose outcome will determine who will control the infrastructure of intelligence, and with it, the hierarchy of the world.
