Both Silicon Valley and the U.S. government agree on the need for massive investment in AI infrastructure despite its risks and uncertain economic impact.
Jesse Owens' gold medal victories at the 1936 Berlin Olympics exemplified American repudiation of Nazi ideology, representing a vital stance against tyranny. Today, America’s approach to the AI race against China must similarly reflect this mindset. President Xi Jinping aims to exploit technological dominance to impose his vision of global governance and restrict individual freedoms. American policymakers recognize the perceived AI Race between the U.S. and China, understanding the need for the U.S. to win but questioning how to effectively achieve that victory.
