Now, that competition is good, keeps both on their toes. I'm not going to predict the winner, but I can tell you that it's very competitive.

I'll make a blunt statement as I can. It's clear to me that the US and China will dominate. The US because we invented it and because we're inventing it as we speak. China because they have made a decision to focus on this regardless of cost, and they're good, they're catching up. And I'm worried about that.

I'm sure that the UK will be part of the success of the US, but what about all the other countries? What do the European countries that are busy regulating themselves to death and perfectly happy, what do they do when AI is imposed on them from a foreign power? in this case, probably US values. That's a loss for them and that's a mistake. I've told them this, they just aren't listening to me.

What happens when Africa, which will have the majority of population in the next 50 years, population growth, what happens when the systems that are built reflect US or Chinese values and not local values? And there are differences in culture and values that matter a lot. One of the things about this technology that's important is it's very expensive.

It takes large teams and, again, billions of dollars of hardware. Elon has done his new data center. The press reports 200,000 GPUs. A GPU costs about $50,000. So for purposes of argument, that's $10 billion right there in the ground. There aren't that many ELONs, but how many people can afford that?

We did a survey of the number of 100,000 GPU clusters and larger, and there are seven or eight, two of which appear to be in China or related to China, and the rest appear to be in the West, but mostly under US control. What happens to every other country? If you thought about it, let's say you're in Germany. The first thing you would say is we need one of those two.

Well, Germany is in terrible financial strait. They're having a whole identity crisis because of the energy cost and the Chinese problem and the Russia energy problem and on and on and on. It's not on their list, but they have to do it right now if they want to stay a player.

France, under President Macron, is doing a good job of focusing on this, but the training is all being done outside of France because of the cost of electricity, which is subsidized in the case of the trainers. So again, these are very complicated problems.

And in the reordering question, which is under... What I'm most interested in is as general intelligence is invented, I want to make sure it reflects Western values, and I want it to be for more than just the US. I want it to benefit the entire world.

I call this innovation power. We've all been indoctrinated that there's soft power and hard power. I'm arguing that there's innovation power. Innovation power is inventing new things with all this new technology. And I'm gonna argue that if you can get to scale in these new technologies quicker, you're gonna have a lot more military power.

So for the U.S., what this means is very complicated national security systems, very complicated vision systems, very complicated military management systems, and the adoption of autonomy and drones, which is occurring in Ukraine, but not in the U.S. yet.
