The article, "AI Marshall Plan" in the United States, proposes a substantial annual investment to counter China's escalating and coordinated AI efforts. The author argues that this federal mobilization, spanning infrastructure development, industrial policy, research, workforce transformation, national security, and international alliances, is crucial for American economic prosperity, national security, and the preservation of democratic values. Citing historical precedents such as the Manhattan Project and the Apollo Program, the document emphasizes the necessity of unified command and sustained commitment to achieve technological dominance, asserting that a fragmented approach will lead to an existential disadvantage in the face of China's systematic AI strategy.
