.@americanedge released a new monthly scorecard tracking the U.S.-China AI race across energy, compute, adoption and talent. Our first verdict: China won July. As I told @PunchbowlNews: “China just stepped on the gas.” America can win the AI race, but we need a single playbook, not 50 different ones. The decisions we make at every level of government will add up to our collective success or collective shortfall. Read the full scorecard here: americanedgeproject.org/aep-…
