The crown jewel of Industrial Revolution 4.0 is AI. As of March of 2026, many corporations are embracing it, but some are shunning it fearing they will lose employees. However, those favoring AI claim it will create more jobs for humans as well as new industries. There’s no denying, however, that AI sees the digital world like a black hole sees suns, moons, and planets at a galactic buffet, the former digesting and disseminating everything on the Web in yottabytes and Yoctoseconds. Obvious questions arise. None more important than which country will become the AI superpower. Will said country shut down its most powerful enemy’s electric grids and water treatment stations just to ensure world dominance? Pop culture is replete with computer and computer-aided villains from Star Trek to 2001: A Space Odessey, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Spectre, and a host of others. Should humans embrace or brace for AI? Is Vegas already cashing in on its algorithms? Will it give us odds on which country will become the AI superpower? So many questions.
