- The economic and military strength of countries is being measured based on data, computing power and algorithms.
- Intelligence systems, cyber security and automated weapons systems are becoming more capable thanks to AI.
- The intense competition between the United States and China over AI has raised the prospect of the world splitting into two technological blocs.
Currently in India AI Impact Summit has been organized. Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a technology, it has become a geopolitical field. Its status is similar to nuclear technology during the Cold War. Countries are not just investing in algorithms, they are investing in power. Who will have more military and economic power, who will have more influence on society. This will depend on who builds and trains the AI, a competition that has intensified as the use of AI in various fields increases.

New World Order
We are entering an era of what may be called ‘geo-tech politics’. Countries that adapt to the times will determine the direction of the new world order. Countries that fall behind may become strategically vulnerable and economically marginalized. Hence for India, AI is not just a question of technology but a question of strategy. In an era where power is defined by data and computing, India cannot afford to be technologically dependent on others. However, India cannot afford to invest as much as the US and China. So, instead of imitating, he has to develop a strategy tailored to his needs. India’s strengths are unique: digital public infrastructure, big data networks and human capital. The real challenge is how to turn this strength into an advantage without getting stuck in any group.
A new currency
Unlike oil or land, the power of AI is not based on anything tangible. Its real power lies in data, computing power, talent and the ability to create new algorithms. These new currencies are used to influence, today digital sovereignty means control over AI related infrastructure such as the cloud, semiconductor supply chain and regulation, in this new era, a country’s strength is measured more than its technological capabilities.
Digital warfare
The biggest competition around AI is between the US and China. It is estimated that AI could add trillions of dollars to the global economy, but the benefits will only accrue to those with a strong digital infrastructure, a competition exacerbated by security concerns. AI is strengthening intelligence gathering, cyber attacks and automated weapons systems. Military applications of machine learning have become a reality. The situation has become like a ‘digital cold war’.
Competition results
The world appears to be dividing into two parts. The US and China are leading the way, Europe is trying to become self-reliant, and many countries in the Global South are in danger of falling behind. AI may affect jobs, leading to increased inequality In the future, two types of AI systems may emerge: one open and rules-based, the other centralized and supervised.
Changing rules
Another element of this competition is rare earth metals. Critical minerals are needed to build the hardware that powers the AI. This competition is now also linked to mineral supply and energy politics, particularly between the US and China. Furthermore, data is increasingly dispersed across countries, with each country having its own set of digital regulations. Ideology cannot be separated from competition. Democracies emphasize transparency and privacy, while dictators seek to control society through these.
AI will speed up the speed tracking system! Everything from challan to recovery will be automated
Security risks
Cyber warfare, autonomous weapons and algorithmic disinformation are eroding trust in institutions. Generative AI has made it easier to weaponize information, thereby weakening democracy. In authoritarian countries, governments are increasing surveillance and control through technology. In democratic countries, the balance between innovation and civil liberties can be challenged.
