Most days, I woke up around 2:30 P.M. I’d throw on sweatpants and a T-shirt, make my way through the idle firemen who played pool at all hours in B-Lounge, and head down the long hall to the galley, where I’d gobble a bowl of ramen with some frozen spinach. Then I’d go back to my berth to really dress: long underwear, down pants, two pairs of socks, wool undershirt, sweater, down mittens, balaclava, beanie, and Big Red. That’s what everyone called the bright-red Canada Goose down parka that, along with insulated white “bunny boots” and a whole lot of other not-so-nice cold-weather gear, is issued to each worker in Christchurch, New Zealand, before departing for “the ice.” It pleased me to see my name sewn into the back of Big Red, although I winced to think what the thrifty Amundsen, in his reindeer-hide boots, wolf-fur-trimmed anorak, and sealskin suit would think of my flashy gear.

Unlike incumbent ecosystems, which have already invested, or perhaps sunk, hundreds of billions into today’s foundation-model architectures, Europe’s current generation of AI researchers and entrepreneurs can start fresh. Entire nations can be disrupted as well. Political scientist Jeffrey Ding has recently argued that major technological transitions have repeatedly reshaped global power—from Britain in the first Industrial Revolution, to Germany’s rise in the age of chemicals and engineering, and then to American dominance in the era of mass production, computing and the internet. History rarely offers second chances. The coming AI wave might be one for Europe. But seizing it will require more than capital and talent. It will require clarity of purpose.
