I agree that keeping top AI talent (along with several other key sectors) in the US is absolutely critical to maintain America's superpower status long term. It seems to me that the US became a power and remained one for so long in no small part because of the opportunities provided to foreigners here and being a 'nation of immigrants' which attracted the best and brightest from abroad to contribute to the economy, defense, and more. I was lucky enough to have been born in the US so I've got no need to go through the visa process but hearing from friends and colleagues, it sounds like an absolute nightmare. Still, the US could get away with it because we were the place everyone wanted to be - now with our difficulties in healthcare, declining infrastructure, violence issues (perceived or real, especially around guns), and low education standards paired with many EU nations being very attractive and welcoming, I think we need to dramatically step up our work trying to be competitive attracting talent.
