Some are concerned that regulating AI progress in one country will slow that country down, putting it at a disadvantage in a global AI arms race. Many proponents of AI regulation disagree; they have pushed back on the overall framework, pointed out serious drawbacks and limitations of racing, and argued that regulations do not have to slow progress down.
Another disagreement is about whether countries are in fact in a neck and neck arms race; some believe that the United States and its allies have a significant lead which would allow for regulation even if that does come at the cost of slowing down AI progress. [1]
This overview uses simple metrics and indicators to illustrate and discuss the state of frontier AI development in different countries — and relevant factors that shape how the picture might change.
