Artificial intelligence evokes images of supercomputer assistants, machines that can think creatively, and, to some, scenes from their favorite sci-fi movie. The reality, despite not being as futuristic, is not far off from this. AI refers to the ability of a computer or machine to mimic the competencies of the human mind, which often learns from previous experiences to understand and respond to language, decisions, and problems. The market for AI technologies is vast, amounting to around 200 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 and is expected to grow well beyond that to over 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars by 2030.

Artificial intelligence (AI), the technology that allows digital computers or computer-controlled robots to perform tasks more commonly associated with intelligent beings, has been leaping into the limelight following the release of a wide variety of Generative AI models in 2023. The United States, being the largest economy in the world, has a natural advantage. Although human-like androids such as those portrayed in the science fiction movie Blade Runner are still far from reality, applications of AI such as smartphone virtual assistants and industrial robots are already widespread in U.S. society. The industry’s powerful ability to improve efficiency and increase productivity has made it of strategic importance to U.S. industries and government, both of which push the U.S. lead in the AI race.
