A remarkable insight is that data centers and AI technologies now account for the overwhelming majority of GDP growth—over 90% in the first half of 2025—highlighting a shift from traditional manufacturing and resources toward digital infrastructure. This shift could usher in an era of abundance, radically lowering costs of transportation, healthcare, and education, but also raising issues of wealth distribution and access.
Moreover, the move toward decentralized exchanges, AI-driven financial markets, and transparent accounting promises to democratize wealth creation and enable nations to adapt rapidly to the new economic realities. In particular, the investment surges in semiconductor manufacturing and infrastructure reflect a strategic race for technological sovereignty.
