 If the U.S. fumbles AI like it did crypto, will it remain a global tech leader—or be left in the dust?

The U.S., once the unchallenged hub of innovation, is slipping. From crypto to AI, regulatory missteps are stifling new technologies, and the world is starting to look elsewhere for the next wave of breakthroughs. As funding for American generative AI companies dries up, nations in Asia and Europe are accelerating, positioning themselves as emerging leaders. This raises a critical question: Is the U.S. losing its edge when it matters most?

We’ve seen this story play out before—crypto was heralded as the next great leap forward with Web3, only to meet stiff resistance from U.S. regulators. The once-promising technology stalled domestically, forcing entrepreneurs and investors to flock overseas. Now, AI faces the same risk. If the U.S. fails to create an environment that nurtures innovation, it won’t just be a missed opportunity—it will be a tectonic shift in global tech leadership. This isn’t just about dollars and patents; it’s about whether the U.S. can continue to attract the brightest minds and stay at the forefront of global progress. If it falls behind now, catching up later may no longer be an option.
