Al is the new Industrial Revolution—and like the first one, countries that industrialize will prosper, and those that don't will flounder. The U.S. is all-in. China is close behind. Europe has the talent, capital, and companies to be a real partner in this race. But the EU is regulating its way into irrelevance. The AI Act, DMA, DSA, and Data Act aren't safety frameworks—they're innovation killers. You can't win a race against China while strangling your own team. Europe needs to build, deregulate, and embrace abundant low-cost energy —now. Pax Silica is knitting together the trusted network the Al race requires. Europe belongs in that network. The question is whether Brussels will let it show up.
