China's technological ambitions present a significant challenge, and the U.S. must collaborate across sectors to ensure it remains competitive in AI and technology.

China is likely to adopt new AI technologies into their military faster than the US, especially regarding drones and asymmetric warfare.

China has demonstrated that it can produce competitive AI technologies despite export controls, highlighting the need for the U.S. to invest in its own research capabilities.

China's advancements in physical infrastructure and energy production pose a competitive threat to the U.S. in AI development, highlighting the need for the U.S. to streamline data center construction and energy production.

The energy constraints for AI are significant, especially as China ramps up its electricity production much faster than the US.

The U.S. military's reliance on exquisite systems has created a disparity in drone production capabilities compared to adversaries like China, which can produce drones at a much larger scale.

The U.S. needs to reindustrialize to close the gap in drone production capabilities with China, which has a substantial manufacturing capacity for low-cost, capable systems.

AI is becoming a major geopolitical focus, with countries like China aggressively investing in AI technologies to potentially leapfrog the United States in military capabilities.

The race with China will intensify as both sides rapidly industrialize, with AIs deployed throughout the economy, potentially leading to misalignment issues.
