The US Needs a New Plan to Beat China on AI

One line of reasoning: China has ~3x as many people as US, so if we want to keep up with them, we'll need 3x our current intellectual manpower. So we need enough AI to make up the difference.

This having been said, there's no substitute for luck. Even Sun-Tzu ( author of "The Art of War"), when discussing whether skill or luck was best, said that he would prefer luck. Problem is, you can't count on luck.
