And then of course, there's an announcement of an AI dialogue between the two sides.
So for me, the important question will not be what new initiatives are coming out of the meeting, but it's whether both leaders can reaffirm that direction that they set out in May.
And if they do, I think markets will view that as evidence that both governments remain committed to managing that competition, even as the rivalry continues to intensify.
Beyond the summit, I would expect competition over things like semiconductors and AI and critical minerals, energy, supply chains to continue to accelerate.
So at the summit, I guess in conclusion, what I would say is
The real measure of success won't be whether the competition eases.
It will be whether it remains manageable.
Well, thanks for asking that question about our report, Beyond the Benchmarks.
That was something, as you know, that my team developed in collaboration with Tara Lyons and her terrific AI policy team.
And one of the report's central conclusions
is that this isn't simply a race to build the best AI model.
It is a competition now really to build the strongest AI ecosystem, one that combines innovation, energy, computing infrastructure, manufacturing talent, and government policy, and a lot of other things.
And to your question, America's greatest strengths remains really unmatched innovation ecosystem, including, of course, leadership in the frontier AI models.
We maintain the edge on world-class universities, venture capital, and the ability to attract global talent.
I guess I would say our greatest vulnerability is building the energy and the infrastructure that we will need to support AI at scale.
China, on the other hand, has terrific advantages in its ability to deploy AI pretty quickly across its manufacturing base and its broader economy.
And it's putting a lot of emphasis in doing just that.
I would say its vulnerability is probably getting access still to the most advanced semiconductors to support AI.
More broadly, I think the important point is that AI is no longer viewed in Washington and Beijing simply as a technology issue.
It is increasingly seen through that prism of strategic competition.
