I think this has a lot more to do with the US having a larger english speaking population under one legal framework. All of the capital goes here first since it has the most upside and makes it easier to expand to other english speaking countries. I'm Polish and would never build a tech business targeting the Polish market first over the US, and it has nothing to do with regulations getting in my way. Building ChatGPT or Google for EU citizens is a lot harder than doing it for English speakers. Also most of the leading figures in AI are from Europe or Asia but followed the money to the US. EDIT 3: Americans underestimate the value of being surrounded by oceans instead of Russia and Germany, which they end up attributing to their ingenuity or libertarian leaning version of capitalism.
