I feel like the world has no future.

By globe capital you mean the US Democrats? And Trump pushing land to Putin mass criminal is a step in the right direction? Can't see the logic.
All Trump wants is to break up Europe into the small states his country can control with ease, and so does Putin. I really don't see how any of this helps countries regain their self-reliance. Brexit has proven to be a disaster so far.

The world is too connected to the US giants now, the only way to break free (unless you are Russia or China) is for each country to develop its own sattellite(s) and digital giants to provide the services. Small countries are too small to do it on their own, which is why the EU is useful for European countries breaking free from the US.

The way things are going, AI growth will only increase reliance on the US. At least that is how I see things.

I mean the rich who own basically everything in the world. Mostly they are investment companies like Blackrock, but money moving from one country to another without barriers is just making the rich richer and the people poorer. In 1970's we still had tariffs and different currencies that balanced each other, protectionism to secure people's jobs. 

I don't think AI is going to make others more reliant on US. Maybe they have (due to more loose legislation) a bit of headstart in AI race. 

I get ya man, it was far much easier for local bussinesses to prosper back then, until the giant chains started to spread - mainly from the US. Local businesses started to close, giant chains spread wiht their cheaper offerings in many sectors, local owners and staff slowly turned into underpaid staff working for the giants, and with the digital boom it only got worse and worse.

Things were far simpler back then... not sure if it's even possible to go back. Maybe AI can help smaller businesses develop their accessibility and quallity, but we need some made in Europe AI models, otherwise the US will keep its influence. I hope you are right that it's just a headstart in the race.

I believe the EU is the best way for us to keep the giants in control - instead of them controlling us. But I also prefer a right oriented EU, something like Italy's Meloni which in my opinion is the best of both words. We can have it all, democracy, human rights, traditional values and preserving each country's identity while at the same time having a global presence in order for smaller European countries to be able to shape their own destiny and interests, in a world of giants.
