The US government's AI strategy isn’t just about dominance—it’s about control. This article outlines how OpenAI and Anthropic, backed by the executive branch, are ensuring that AI remains an economic weapon in service of US hegemony. But for non-US nations, this isn’t just policy; it’s a direct threat to economic sovereignty.
History has shown what happens to company towns: extreme inequality, social collapse, economic entrapment. AI is turning entire nations into company towns. The shift from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to Employee-as-a-Service (EaaS) means that entire industries will be absorbed into centralized AI platforms, displacing workers globally while funneling wealth into the hands of a few dominant players. This isn’t just automation—it’s an engineered collapse of labor markets worldwide.
Every region and sector has a collapse threshold—the point where automation outpaces the ability of local populations to generate income and sustain demand. The AI industry, as structured now, is driving the world towards those thresholds at breakneck speed. And once a threshold is crossed, recovery is not guaranteed.
US AI policy makes it clear: safeguarding workers outside its borders is not a priority. The next wave of AI-driven economic collapse will hit white-collar and service industries, following the pattern that already gutted industrial jobs. The result? Entire national economies will be left dependent on American AI firms, their infrastructure, and their regulations.
The solution isn’t more integration with US AI monopolies—it’s strategic resistance. Non-US nations must recognize this for what it is: economic colonization by AI. The necessary response includes regulatory barriers, national AI development, and economic countermeasures. The alternative is a future where no nation retains control over its workforce, its economy, or its technological destiny.
