AI — the New Economic Weapon — is redefining global power. Nations rich in data and technology are writing the new script of economic dominance. The United States, China, and India are now at the center of this transformation.
America’s AI Power
In 2024, the U.S. invested $109 billion in AI; in 2025, this figure surged to $320 billion. Tech giants — Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta — are building massive AI infrastructure.
AI has already added 1.1% to U.S. GDP growth, contributing nearly 92% of its total growth in early 2025. By 2035, AI could boost U.S.
GDP by another 1.5%, creating millions of jobs. However, the national debt now stands at $38 trillion — a heavy price for leadership.
U.S.–China AI Race
The U.S. built 40 top AI models in 2024, while China built 20. China leads in open-source models, but the U.S. maintains a two-year technological lead.
Still, China is closing the gap rapidly, using massive state data and industrial AI policies.
India: The Rising Power
India ranks 7th globally in AI investment (about ₹92,000 crore) and 2nd in AI usage. India is becoming a data-center hub, with around 152 centers now — 2.8% of the U.S. count — expected to grow fivefold by 2030.
Through Digital India and Make in India, the nation is positioning itself as the world’s AI service powerhouse.
USA–India Trade Deal: “Very Near”
By October 2025, the U.S. signed tariff deals with 30+ countries, including the UK, Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
India remains cautious — valuing economic sovereignty — but talks on oil trade and tariff cuts are progressing well.
A strategic trade agreement between India and the U.S. is reportedly very close, which could reshape digital and technology trade.
Cryptocurrency & Metals
Blockchain is reshaping finance — bringing transparency and inclusion.
Bitcoin may touch $150,000 in 2025. Gold dipped to $3,963 due to easing trade tensions, but may rebound above $4,000 in 2026. Silver could touch $50.
AI is not just a technology — it is the engine of the new economy.
America has power, China has speed, and India has direction.
