That being said AI will be an oligopoly. It also has the high potential to over promise and under deliver. Then there are the jobs that it will destroy which will force people into lower wage service jobs.

AI isn’t saving anything or anybody except for wealth/capital.

And there is no “race”. That is agitprop to get more money funneled into AI development.
