There is this Project that I came across a long time ago called "Neuroph".

"AI" doesn't have to stand for ChatGPT.

Hence, there are plenty of useful niches where AI tech can be applied. On the other hand, the west is largely deindustrialized, so the niches are mostly in ephemeral fields like entertainment or the service industry.
