The AI race is global. The rules governing it may remain national. The Futurum Group’s Nick Patience discussed how the U.S. and China are taking different approaches to AI development, open-source models, and regulation. He also pointed to recent Futurum ETR data showing that about 42% of surveyed companies are using open-weight models, with adoption currently weighted toward U.S.-based models. That demand is helping increase competitive pressure and push AI costs lower. But when it comes to regulation, Nick sees little likelihood of a single global framework with meaningful enforcement. Different economic, security, and technology priorities are more likely to produce separate rules across the U.S., China, the UK, France, and the European Union. ▶️ Watch the segment for Nick’s perspective on the U.S.-China AI race, open-weight adoption, and where AI regulation could go next. #AI #AIRegulation #OpenSourceAI #Futurum
