    Influencer examples from the article:

    “We need to invest in American-made AI to ensure America leads the way in innovation and job creation.”

    ‘“I just learned that China is trying really hard to beat the US in AI. If they do, it could mean that China gets personal data from me and my kids, and take jobs that should be here in the US In the AI innovation race, I’m Team USA!!!”

    “AI is changing everything, and it’s important we keep building it here in the US”

    “it’s important we invest in American AI so America leads the way in AI innovation and job creation.”

    And one tech bro take:

    “When people are worried about surveillance, of course, there are huge dangers there,” Karp said last year on The Axios Show, “but you know, you will have far fewer rights if America’s not in the lead.”

    Very persuasive Mr. Karp.

    This narrative doesn’t seem very compelling, space race seems like it was more fun.
