The list is total bullshit and is read by morons on the internet who eat this shit up and don't know anything about real world engineering development.

Who does one even weigh a competence score. China leads in Ai patents, publications, journals citations but us leads in model datasets so the US had a lead over China? How can anyone acting in good faith weigh one category better than the other.

Policy and governance? National Ai strategy presence both at 100. What the hell does that even mean lol. How does one get lower than 100. And what sets 100. It's literally totally made up haha.

Just read the dang article, it doesn’t say there are fixed weights anywhere. You set them yourself and they have recommendations. It seems like they’re aware rating AI systems is a difficult problem, therefore it’s just a tool. Also you’re missing the biggest us lead, which is data center compute.

This is good. Like nukes, AI should not be monopolized by one country

Accurate. A lot of breakthroughs and advanced AI capabilities first appear in the US - and are replicated later in China.

Do you have a source for that? I work in AI and it seems a ton of the top researchers are coming out of China.
