Tech advocacy group American Edge Project is out with a new TV ad focused on the AI race with China, shared first with Axios.
Why it matters: U.S.-China competition is at the heart of tech policy today, driving legislation and debate on Capitol Hill.
- American Edge Project says there's a seven-figure sum behind this ad spot, and it will run on cable, streaming platforms, and social media.
What they're saying: "America is in a race with China," the ad, titled "Values," says.
- "The country that dominates in both open- and closed-source artificial intelligence will define the future."
- "China's vision is driven by censorship, oppression, and control."
- "America can't lose this race to China. We must protect our competitive edge."
Context: The American Edge Project is backed by millions from Facebook-parent company Meta, per the Washington Post.
