Future of warfare: US, China race for AI dominance; Apple’s secret $275B deal with Chinese regime



Some suspect future wars will be defined by artificial intelligence. And that the first nation to harness AI will gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield for years to come. Right now, China is edging closer to gaining the upper hand. So how far has China gotten in developing its AI? Why are they advancing so fast? What could losing the AI race with China really mean, for the U.S. and the free world? And what is the Chinese Communist Party’s ultimate goal?
