The AI race is not one race, but two very different models competing. The U.S. is pushing rapid innovation driven by companies and markets, while China is advancing under strong state direction and control. Each approach has its own strengths and trade-offs. The outcome may depend on adoption, not just technology. The side that wins over more users and ecosystems could shape how AI defines the century. https://t.co/XXLaBAeCXN @bbcnews @MishaGlenny @lukemintz
