A fresh map of AI usage shows an interesting picture: the gap between countries is already becoming multiple.
🔎 What do the data show? • USA – about 3.7x of its population share • Canada, Australia, Europe – consistently above 2–3x • Singapore – more than 4x • Israel – almost 5x (maximum)
At the same time, India, Africa, parts of Asia – significantly below 1x, and some countries are even below 0.5x.
📌 What does this mean?
AI is being adopted unevenly. Some countries are already using it as a working tool, while others are just beginning to get acquainted.
AI has become a factor of competitiveness: countries where AI is used more actively automate processes faster, reduce costs, and accelerate productivity growth. Now the gap between "developed and developing" is also defined by the use of AI in work.

🤡 Trump's statements are, of course, a separate kind of "art": yesterday — the Hormuz is not needed, today — it is already needed, sometimes there's a "deal on the table", sometimes there is no deal. Overall, everyone has already gotten used to his contradictory statements.
Now he is also blackmailing NATO with the possible exit of the USA from the alliance.
But it is important to look through the context and actions: so far they rather show that Trump is not ready to exit the conflict, and the likelihood of a ground operation remains high.
