When Nine Companies Hold Tomorrow in Their Hands
What if the future of human civilization rests not with governments or global institutions, but with nine technology companies? While we scroll through social media, ask voice assistants for weather updates, and let algorithms recommend what to watch next, a handful of corporations are quietly building the infrastructure of artificial superintelligence. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, and Apple dominate the West. Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent operate as extensions of Chinese state power. Together, these "Big Nine" aren't just creating products-they're encoding values into thinking machines that will shape every aspect of human existence. The question isn't whether AI will transform our world. It's whether that transformation will reflect humanity's highest aspirations or its most troubling blind spots.
