You said a lot of controversial things. I'll just zoom in on the last bit:

> I have the impression that EU is doing everything possible to keep us, European citizens, behind, just mere spectators in this tech war. We are already irrelevant, niche players.

Citizens of the US are just as irrelevant, if not more, since none of the productivity gains trickles down to them. Their real wage growth has stagnated since the 1970s, and each year that goes by, their actual power to purchase more goods or services goes down.

The victories in AI only matter to those who will profit from it.

When it comes to the citizens of a country benefiting from AI or not, being the leader in AI tech is not very important. It is more a matter of if AI benefits them or not. That their country has the leading AI tech can as easily results in them having less jobs, and being paid worse, as it could the opposite, depending on the policies of that country.

But given that, it can very much be better to live in the EU, with second grade open-source models, but where the productivity benefits of AI benefit the general citizens, then to live in the US, where the productivity benefits of AI benefit only the few.
