China’s AI sector is advancing at remarkable speed and scale, raising urgent questions about how the United States and its allies maintain a competitive edge. This moderated panel brings together leaders in technology, sovereign AI, and international relations to examine the strategic landscape of American AI competitiveness.
The discussion focused on three dimensions of the challenge: the pace and scale of China’s AI development and its global implications; the lessons of past U.S. technology export-control strategies and what they suggest for today’s policy choices; and the imperative of winning the race for global AI adoption — securing market share for U.S. and allied platforms, infrastructure, and services, not just leading on the technology itself.
The panel:
- Moderator: Neil Chilson – Abundance Institute
- Peter Yared – CEO, InCountry
- Jennifer Lind – Professor, Dartmouth College
- Carl Meacham – Head of Sovereign AI, Hydra Host
The hour included opening perspectives from each panelist, a curated discussion, and live audience Q&A.
