Months ago, the White House in the United States launched a radical AI action plan, openly charging towards global AI hegemony. At a special dinner on September 4, tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, OpenAI, and Meta gathered to generously pledge "donations" to pave the way and seize policy benefits. The enthusiasm for artificial intelligence continues to soar, with the crypto AI sector leading the charge.
