📉 Global perception of AI leadership is changing
According to Politico polls, respondents in US-allied countries increasingly see China as a global AI leader, while American optimism regarding the technology is declining.
🌍 A shift in focus toward the ability to export digital standards and ensure technological sovereignty (Sovereign AI) is creating competition for the American "free market" model.
👤 The AI race has ceased to be a duel between the US and China, transforming into a system where regulatory power and infrastructural integration become key factors.
