Europe is also great place to live, which is much more important than being leaders in AI race to generate more wealth for your mega corporations.
I really like living in Europe (Sweden right now, but I lived in Czech, Estonia and I’m from the UK)…
But, I think unless we do some wealth generating activities, we won’t be such a nice place to live in future.
Our power on the world stage will decrease, our infrastructure will start to be neglected due to lack of investment, quality will diminish in most areas…
I say this because that’s how the UK feels in most areas (outside of London), a bunch of “new flashy stuff” to prove that “we still got it” but it’s incredibly low quality while the actual infrastructure crumbles to bits.
I believe you've chosen the wrong tense there
The EU is no longer the largest economic bloc in the world, but that happened due to Brexit.
