 It is well known that at least part of Washington’s reluctance to regulate artificial intelligence comes from wanting to make sure the United States stays ahead of China. But what exactly are the two countries racing for? Matt Sheehan, a co-director of the China AI Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins FP’s Ravi Agrawal to explain the countries’ very different definitions of winning and why U.S. models are only months ahead of their Chinese competitors. Plus, after Brazil’s first round of elections, Ravi shares his read on Latin America’s rightward swing.

Today, on the FOX News Rundown: Extra podcast, we ask: As Americans lose confidence in higher education, is the traditional four-year college degree losing its value? Earlier this week, former Indiana Governor and Purdue University Interim President Mitch Daniels joined the FOX News Rundown to break down why tuition costs, political indoctrination, and the rise of AI are driving a historic decline in trust. Daniels also explained to host Lisa Brady how Purdue has frozen tuition since 2012, why trade schools are gaining ground, and what universities must do to survive. In addition, he weighed in on school safety and accountability concerns in light of the shocking assault allegations at Cornell University. We couldn't air the entire conversation earlier this week due to time constraints, but you can hear it in full on today's FOX News Rundown: Extra. Learn more about your ad choices.

What’s a bigger threat to America: Islamists or Marxists? With the midterms approaching, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, author of "The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America," argues the two are impossible to separate. Affordability is driving people into the arms of the Islamist-aligned Democratic Socialists of America. Can Republicans win them back on the economy in the middle of the Iran war, especially with the prices of gas and food so high? Glenn and Miranda dive into this as well as the positives that are often overlooked, including the record-low poverty rate and Trump's plan to secure American energy independence. But is the AI revolution that this energy will power more apocalyptic than utopian? And what is being done to prevent an AI takeover? Miranda breaks down “effective altruism,” the bizarre Silicon Valley moral system being embedded in AI models, and why it is the antithesis of Christianity. And she also explains how Trump is sweet-talking President Xi while kicking China out of the western hemisphere, undoing the access the Biden crime family spent years selling. She closes with hope that young conservatives are ready to rebuild and that America still stands.
