AI Becomes a Tool for Global Power Struggles, Analyst Exposes Its Non-Neutrality

In multinational corporate boardrooms, Moscow technology forums, and the United Nations Security Council table, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer discussed merely as an innovation. It has surpassed its status as a technology, transforming into new infrastructure that quietly reshapes how the world operates, makes decisions, and even determines what is considered truth. At this point, the debate on AI is no longer simple. The business world sees it as a productivity machine, states interpret it as an instrument of sovereignty, while security analysts read it as a new tool in information warfare. All three discuss the same object, but with different interests, and it is precisely there that AI finds its position as a new arena for global power struggles. AI and the Unfulfilled Promise of Productivity In Gleb Tsipursky’s article in The Hill, AI is described as a technology with great promises that have not yet been fully realised. The corporate world, according to him, is in a transitional phase, between high expectations and the reality of still limited usage. “Expectations are already high, but habits are still lagging,” he writes. Tsipursky points to a gap between executives’ optimism and workers’ everyday experiences. AI is projected to significantly boost productivity, yet the real impact felt by companies so far remains relatively small. He also highlights workforce changes that are not dramatic but gradual. “Workforce changes can occur as a series of positions that are never refilled, rather than as one dramatic event,” he writes. From this perspective, AI does not arrive as a sudden disruptive wave, but as an evolutionary process that slowly alters work structures. However, it is in this seemingly slow process that more fundamental changes are hidden. AI is beginning to shift how organisations perceive work, from mere operational efficiency to more precise data-based decision-making. In this context, the human role is not entirely replaced, but repositioned, from executors of routine tasks to managers, directors, and interpreters of machine work results.
