Is AI a race for dominance that America must win or a shared breakthrough that demands global cooperation?

The Spin
Pro-Industry
AI doesn't need a maze of guardrails written by doomsayers — it needs strong American leadership, and that's exactly what's in place right now. The panic campaign against AI and data centers only helps Beijing, and the executives now posing as innocent have already been stopped from doing damage. Whoever wins AI wins the future, and slowing down is surrender.
Industry-Critical
AI is a technology that will shape the future of all humanity, so it should be built to be open, inclusive and beneficial to everyone. Fear-mongering about a rival nation's progress and turning a shared breakthrough into a race for dominance wrecks any chance of sound global governance. Threat narratives and vicious competition serve nobody's interests.
