China is racing to out-pace America in artificial intelligence (AI) development and deployment, and it is making serious progress. To stay ahead, America needs a national innovation strategy that strengthens all the pillars of our leadership, from data and infrastructure to talent and adoption. Thankfully, political leaders on both sides of the aisle are waking up to the intensity and importance of this race and many are implementing smart policies to ensure America maintains our edge. […]
The United States is in a race it cannot afford to lose. China is rapidly gaining ground in artificial intelligence (AI), utilizing open-source models to disseminate powerful, low-cost AI systems rooted in authoritarian values globally. These models aren’t just competing – they’re starting to win, and if left unchecked, they could become the foundation of the world’s digital infrastructure. To protect our national security, economic future, and democratic ideals, the United States must ensure that it leads in both open- and closed-source AI development. […]

[…]
A trade war that’s been overlooked, but has been quietly underway the past several years, is Europe’s digital trade war against American innovators – and it’s growing larger and more destructive daily. The European Union (EU) has imposed billions in fines, compliance costs, and sweeping new rules against America’s most innovative tech companies while barely touching Chinese or European firms. These “digital tariffs” aim to boost Europe’s tech sector at America’s expense but instead weaken both sides of the Atlantic, to China’s benefit. […]
For the past 80 years, America has led the world in innovation, driving global progress through our technology, talent and values.
