There is not only one artificial intelligence, but a competitive ecosystem in constant evolution. From the American giants to Beijing, to the new Californian start-ups, it is a battle of power, technology and perception.
Talking about artificial intelligence in the singularconfuse it or reduce it to the only Chatgptmeans sliding on a misunderstanding. On a par with the car, it is a plural concept that contains a multifaceted and competitive world. A forest of more or less known realities, some already established, others debutants or on the rise, the “one against the other armed”. He decided to battle.
As there are off -road vehicles and city car, cars with minimal or aggressive lines, so there are different Ia with precise strengths: those more skilled to analyze documents and generate texts, for example Claude of the American Anthropic, a former start-up assessed today 183 billion dollars, or Notebooklmpart of the Google galaxy; those to transform text sequences into images, from the Australian Canva ai to Firefly by Adobe.
The war of technological giants
In this scenario a Risiko, a fiery clash between companies to guarantee a future in a technological arena in great metamorphosis, has been unleashed. It is a challenge that is not based on the mere effectiveness of a solution, but leverages the perception of end users – All of us – that we must decide whether and what to subscribe, who pay and for how long, how it happens for streaming platforms.
Of position income, the champion is Meta Ailast obsession with Mark Zuckerbergwho announced to invest at least 600 billion dollars by 2028. The problem? Second Techcrunchthe first experiments were a “disaster in terms of privacy”.
Here is Elon Musk with his assistant Grokpresented as “the most intelligent in the world”, despite the sensational slips between anti -Semitism and Lodi to Adolf Hitler.
Gemini, Copilot, Apple Intelligence: the battle is everywhere
The most fierce the old giants remain: Google with Geminiomnipresent on Android and Gmail; Microsoft with Copilot Inside Word, Excel and other productivity software; Adobe with his assistant IA in PDFs and photo editing programs; Apple with its integrated intelligence in iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The BBC recalled how the only one Chatgpt has doubled weekly users in a few months: from 400 million to 800.
The rise of perplexity
Among the most interesting protagonists there is an almost start-up: Perplexityfounded in 2022 in California and already evaluated 20 billion dollars. His strength? Turn off the perplexities: automatically chooses the most suitable model for the request, integrating Chatgpt, Grok, Gemini, Claude And others. And above all does not hide the sources.
Its founder, Aravind Srinivasformer researcher from Openai, aims to stimulate the critical sense of users, always showing where the information comes from.
A geopolitical theme
There is no unique citizenship for the IA: it is a global competition. The Stanford at the Index Report 2025 assign the podium to United States with 40 modelsfollowed by China with 15 And Europe with just 3. The most relevant is the French Mistral aialready evaluated 14 billion.
But the real ferment is a Beijingwhere the dragon accumulates patents, pushes on the Open Source and wants to overflow with an unscrupulous approach: no ethics, only results. The goal is to entrust 9 90% of the keys of the economy by 2030.
A future of doped superpowers
The magazine Time has inserted among the 100 most influential leaders Liang WenfengCEO of Deepsekthe Chinese free model that has challenged Chatgpt.
One of the darkest scenarios? That one day these artificial intelligences can do without us. The good news, for now, is that they are too busy warning each other.
