America must follow SpaceX example to win artificial intelligence race

Congress hearings on AI focus more on smarter models rather than necessary infrastructure.
Investors heavily invest in AI companies, often overlooking essential infrastructure.
For AI to be effective, there needs to be a focus on four main pillars: power, compute, connectivity, and distribution.
Compute (processing power) is the most discussed aspect but only one piece of AI’s infrastructure.
Infrastructure is crucial for AI’s success, similar to how physical infrastructure enabled past technological eras like the industrial age and the internet era.
The article emphasizes that the AI era will depend on building and controlling necessary infrastructure for power, communication, and distribution.
The AI industry should be treated like infrastructure investments in telecommunications, energy, and manufacturing.
The successful country in the AI race will be the one that best develops supporting infrastructure, not merely the one with the most advanced algorithms.
