“Both the US and China lead in AI models, computing power and ecosystems”
DISPUTED
The evidence shows a conflict in the 'lead' status. One source states US AI models are 12-24 months ahead and the lead is growing, while another suggests China is winning one AI race while the US wins another, and a third mentions the US has an 'overwhelming AI advantage'. Because sources disagree on whether both lead equally or if one has a significant advantage, the claim is disputed.
