Where each country sits in the AI economy

If AI changes the growth regime, as the Gradual and Fast lenses assume, most of the value from that growth will be captured along the global AI supply chain: by the countries that build the models and chips, host and power the compute, supply its materials, adopt it fastest, or anchor it in their region. How a country is positioned in that chain will shape how much of the gain it keeps.

The first tier sorts the countries that hold a position in the chain; the second sorts the rest by how AI reaches them. Click a type for what defines it and to filter the table to its members; click it again to clear.

Tier 1Positions in the AI supply chain

They build the chain, gate it, host it, supply it, absorb it fastest, or anchor it in their region.

Tier 2How AI reaches everyone else

Countries without a strong position in the chain, sorted by how AI reaches them: through offshored work, tourism and diaspora earnings, smallholder farms or adoption at home. Last come the states where fragility comes first.

Most analysis of AI and geopolitics concentrates on the first tier: the AI superpowers and the middle powers that hold chokepoints or can bargain for access, as in Leicht and Ball’s The Race Worth Winning and Chatham House’s How middle powers can weather US and Chinese AI dominance. The second tier covers the countries that analysis mostly leaves out. Rules and sources are in the .

Two growth columns. “Post-AGI” is the rate the Gradual scenario reaches from 2040; “Growth 2035” is the modeled rate in 2035. Pick another year in the lens bar to compare the scenarios at one date. Levels, not rates: “×2045” is GDP in 2045 relative to the no-AI path and “Avg 25–45” the average growth rate over 2025–2045 with the ramp included — the level view Moll and Imas (2026) recommend, and the only columns comparable across scenarios at one date.

GDP, GDP per capita & growth: World Bank WDI (2025 levels); factor scores data-derived v5. Every factor score is built from public data and documented rubrics —

Countries without a modeled result: the atlas includes 157 economies with sufficiently complete, internationally comparable data. It omits North Korea, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Turkmenistan, Somalia, Eritrea, South Sudan and, for now, Lebanon because the required series are unavailable or unusable. Conflict, sanctions, limited international reporting, hyperinflation or crisis-related breaks explain the missing data. Many of these countries would probably meet the rules for the High-risk / volatile archetype, but they are not scored. Their absence means that the model lacks a result, not that they have no exposure to AI.
