There can be no doubt that Europe owes much to the United States. No one should forget that America defended freedom in Western Europe and West Berlin for decades, successfully financed reconstruction after World War II, won the Cold War and united Europe under the NATO security umbrella.

In July, a new report by Microsoft researchers caught the attention of the press, listing 40 professions most at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI). The list includes sales representatives, translators, proofreaders and other knowledge workers, indicating that a labor apocalypse for white-collar workers is approaching.
During a recent trip to Kazakhstan, I was struck by people’s enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). Virtually everyone I met (scientists, politicians, entrepreneurs) was clearly convinced that this technology would help solve complex problems, from diversifying the economy and reducing dependence on natural resource exports to increasing access to key services, especially for people in remote regions. I expected AI knowledge to spread more slowly, and yet this positive attitude probably shouldn’t have surprised me. After all, the rapid development of AI offers great opportunities for developing countries.
US President Donald Trump spent almost the entire last week of October in Asia. He managed to achieve ceasefires on several fronts of the trade war, which he started by imposing duties on friendly and unfriendly countries. But he failed to create long-term economic structures and to dispel doubts about the U.S. strategic commitment to the region.
Over the past year, traditional financial donors have sharply reduced their commitments to assist developing countries, with some, such as the United States, effectively eliminating aid programs. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the amount of official development assistance provided by its member countries fell by 7.1% in 2024. This is the first time in the last six years that the annual figure has fallen.
Is artificial intelligence transforming the economy in any real sense, or are promises of rapid growth just hype? U.S. stock markets certainly lean toward the former view: AI and technology stocks have accounted for about three-quarters of the gains in the S&P 500 index this year. Venture capitalists seem convinced as well, with one estimate suggesting that $200 billion has been injected into the AI sector in 2025 alone.
Demographic studies by numerous think tanks correctly warn that by 2050 Europe will face unsustainable costs and social burdens due to an aging population. But they are ignored, calling them speculation and alarmism. European officials react with silence. The continent’s political parties studiously avoid the topic, fearing the electoral consequences of the necessary reforms.
Decarbonization of energy systems relies heavily on wind and solar power. Fortunately, the cost of solar energy is falling rapidly, and combined with the inexpensive batteries that are now available, solar power has become a competitive and reliable source of energy in sunny areas. But while wind power provides more energy than solar, its use has been slower to expand, in part because of opposition from politicians and local communities.
