La era digital ha dado a luz un nuevo tipo de rivalidad entre superpotencias. Ya no se trata de quién tiene el ejército más grande o la mayor cantidad de aliados, sino de quién da forma a la tecnología del mañana. Estados Unidos y China se encuentran en esquinas opuestas de este cuadrilátero digital. Son como dos maestros de ajedrez que juegan en varios tableros a la vez: IA, computación cuántica, control de datos e infraestructura digital. Cada movimiento repercute en el panorama tecnológico mundial. Lo que hace que este movimiento sea tan fascinante son sus contradicciones. Estos gigantes tecnológicos se necesitan mutuamente, para los mercados, la innovación y la resolución de grandes problemas como la seguridad de la IA. Pero también están enfrascados en una feroz batalla sobre cuál visión del futuro digital ganará. Un lado cree en el poder de los mercados y en el genio individual. El otro ve la tecnología como un proyecto nacional, guiado por la mano del Estado. Es 2025 y el juego sigue abierto. Las viejas reglas de las relaciones internacionales ya no encajan del todo. En cambio, estamos viendo el nacimiento de un nuevo tipo de competencia, una que dará forma a la manera en que miles de millones de personas viven, trabajan y se conectan en las décadas venideras.
