Let’s remember we’re in a global race. It’s imperative the United States wins this race. And for those who assert that we should somehow slow down is nonsense. This is about continuing to move as quickly as possible because we are in a race. The bronze or silver medal is not good enough. We need to be the gold medalists in this race in AI.
