Four Battlegrounds
Four elements define the AI race for power: data, computing power, talent, and institutions. The ultimate global leader in AI will have institutions that effectively incorporate AI into their economy, society, and especially their military.

The ultimate global leader in AI will have institutions that effectively incorporate AI into their economy, society, and especially their military.
