It seems that economic history is repeating itself. On the stock markets, companies in the artificial intelligence and data center sectors are being traded feverishly. Massive capital flows into this technology. Much of it resembles the dot-com boom 25 years ago.
Structurally and regionally, little has changed since then: The U.S. and China are fighting for pole position, while the European Union's economy remains largely on the sidelines, pushed into a spectator role by EU regulators.
