Artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold. According to TechCrunch, AI models are now sophisticated enough to shape political outcomes — and that fundamentally changes the story. For years, we've watched Anthropic and OpenAI compete for capability supremacy, but that framing is becoming obsolete.

It's a collective challenge requiring coordination across industry, governments, and academia. The competitive race continues, but it's no longer the main plot.
