AI and quantum are usually reported as a US–China race. The more useful story is two different systems — frontier capital versus open-source scale — entangled through shared chokepoints. Shayne Heffernan maps the landscape with the KXCO AI Sector Ontology, with comparison graphics and the investable names.
