US and China battle to export AI rules to the world

The global race for artificial intelligence is now a direct contest of governance. The United States and China are actively exporting rival models of technology, funding, and regulation to other countries. In Burkina Faso, a West African nation, dozens of young people gather at a training center in the capital, Ouagadougou. They are learning the basics of digital technology and AI in a US-sponsored program. The goal is to build local digital skills based on the American tech ecosystem.
