In the coming years, artificial intelligence could fuel tensions between the United States and China, argues quantitative futurist, Amy Webb.

With competition between these superpowers intensifying, will China’s centralized, top-down approach give it the edge in the race for technological supremacy? How can the White House, Pentagon, and Silicon Valley craft a shared national strategy for AI?
