The answer lies in a story that’s part tech heist, part geopolitical chess game, and entirely about the future we’re all hurtling toward.   AI Factories in the Desert: Building the Infrastructure of Tomorrow’s Economy Act I: The Silicon Gold Rush Imagine you’re trying to build the world’s tallest skyscraper.

Instead of calling your doctor, you open an app, describe your symptoms, and - voilà - an AI diagnoses you in seconds, prescribes a treatment, and even schedules a drone to deliver your meds. Sounds like sci-fi? According to Bill Gates, this could be everyday life  within the next decade .   Bill Gates Thinks So - And That’s Just the Beginning "Free Intelligence" Is Coming - And It’s a Game-Changer Gates recently dropped a bombshell on  The Tonight Show : AI will soon make expertise as cheap and abundant as streaming music. Need a world-class tutor for your kid? AI’s got you. A second opinion on a medical diagnosis? AI won’t just help - it might outperform your doctor. Think of it like this: Right now, genius-level advice is a luxury (like hiring a private chef). Soon, it’ll be as easy as microwaving a meal (but way smarter).
