This article shows how the development and application of new technologies (robotization and AI) reveals a trend similar to the evolution of the internationalization of productive capital (IPC). This trend reflects an outstanding evolution of a set of Asian countries. This implies, in turn, less technological and productive development in the rest of the regions. This study is organized in two sections. In the first, theoretical IP considerations are made, as well as the most important IP trends in the industry in the 1970-2010 period. On the other hand, the second section shows the evolution of new technologies that cover three aspects: industrial sectors, country dynamics and university and public production.
