Chinese automotive giant Geely is set to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) at Ford Motor Company's underutilized factory in Valencia, Spain, marking a significant milestone in the company's European expansion strategy. The agreement, announced by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on July 23, gives Geely its first vehicle production base within the European Union, allowing the company to assemble cars inside the bloc rather than export them from China.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the global economy at a pace unmatched by previous technological revolutions. From healthcare and finance to education and manufacturing, AI is reshaping industries, increasing productivity, and creating new opportunities for innovation. Yet alongside these benefits comes a growing sense of unease. While a handful of technology companies are accumulating enormous wealth from AI, many workers, governments, and communities are grappling with job displacement, rising infrastructure costs, and widening inequality. This imbalance has intensified calls for a fundamental rethink of how governments tax multinational corporations in the digital age.

For decades, the world's most important technology companies followed a familiar trajectory. They could be founded in Beijing, Bangalore or Berlin, but ultimate validation came only after crossing the Pacific. Listing on the Nasdaq, attracting American institutional investors and earning favorable comparisons with Silicon Valley giants were seen as the final tests of technological credibility. Wall Street did not simply finance innovation; it defined its value.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century, reshaping industries, redefining business strategies, and influencing national economic policies. Yet despite its rapid adoption and growing commercial success, many policymakers, investors, and business leaders continue to ask a familiar question: Is AI merely another technological bubble destined to fade, or is it a genuine catalyst for long-term economic growth?

Artificial intelligence is poised to transform the world of work, but the scale and speed of that transformation remain uncertain. While predictions of mass unemployment and an “AI jobocalypse” have attracted considerable attention, the reality is likely to be more complicated. Some occupations will disappear, others will be transformed, and entirely new categories of work may emerge. The ultimate impact will depend not only on what AI can do, but also on how quickly companies integrate the technology into their operations.

The artificial intelligence race has long been driven by a simple assumption: more powerful models are better models. Companies compete to build systems that can reason more deeply, write better code, operate autonomously and accomplish increasingly complex tasks. Investors reward speed, engineers celebrate breakthroughs, and governments worry about falling behind strategic rivals.
