Executive Summary
The current AI boom mirrors the dot-com era, where short-term expectations were inflated, but the long-term transformative impact was vastly underestimated.
A strategic 'data war' is emerging, with major tech companies like Salesforce creating walled gardens by restricting AI training on customer data, forcing a re-evaluation of platform dependencies.
US-China tech competition is intensifying, highlighted by China's aggressive industrial strategy, dominance in key supply chains like rare earths, and conflicting US immigration policies that could undermine its ability to attract top AI talent.
Corporate governance is facing new challenges, including increased litigation risk for private companies in Delaware and the monopolistic, foreign-influenced power of proxy advisory firms like ISS and Glass Lewis.
