At the Exchange last week, SCSP Chair Eric Schmidt sat down for a substantive discussion on the strategic trajectory of artificial intelligence across national security, global competition, and the economy. Dr. Schmidt provides a grounded assessment of the accelerating US-China AI competition, the realities of automated warfare and the "transparent battlefield" currently visible in Ukraine, and the massive capital and infrastructure requirements necessary to power gigawatt-scale data centers. He also details how AI is fundamentally restructuring software engineering and scientific discovery, urging a renewed national focus on STEM education to prepare the next generation of builders.
