We showed how we, together with our partners, can move very rapidly from an initial idea to impact at our partners. By combining speed, boldness, talent, and timing, we help our partners drive cutting-edge AI innovation and build AI capacity. These elements are essential in securing a competitive edge in the global race for technological and economic leadership.
