Summary/Abstract: The links between the broader Information and Communication Technology (ICT) context and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be described in several ways: from the perspectives of history, international political economy, and technically, among others. This paper aims to illustrate this threefold coverage from the beginning to the present day, focusing on the main state-related and transnational moments in the history of AI. The emerging convergence of ICT and AI today, which were originally two distinct fields, can be easily traced by analysing the very diverse range of services offered by some nationally backed transnational companies, including AI. The processes of convergence that are thus taking shape are also a source of criticism in international political economy, particularly in the light of certain technical features that are discussed here rather in more general terms. Concentrations are above all in the USA and increasingly in the Far East, and for decades have been characterized by the patronage of innovation by the great powers, and the problem of Big Data nowadays.
