    AI’s Glittering Promise Rests on Invisible Foundations That Power the Real World

    New Delhi, November 27, 2025:
    Artificial Intelligence is being sold as the defining revolution of this era, promising smarter cities, automated workplaces and unprecedented productivity.

Power shortages, chip supply disruptions, weak digital infrastructure and cybersecurity gaps can stall even the most advanced AI ambitions. As nations race to lead the AI future, the real challenge is not just innovation at the top, but resilience at the base — where physical infrastructure, policy stability and workforce readiness determine whether the AI boom will truly sustain long-term growth.
