Securing the Fundamentals of U.S. Competitiveness and Leadership in AI

April 2, 2025 • 9:45 – 11:30 am EDT

Artificial intelligence is reshaping global industries and providing new areas for economic competitiveness, but its full potential hinges on critical enablers—energy availability, semiconductor supply chains, and strategic capital investment. How can policymakers and industry leaders ensure the U.S. remains at the forefront of this transformation? 

Please join the CSIS Economic Security and Technology Department for a discussion on the findings of our latest report: "Securing Full Stack U.S. Leadership in AI," which examines the intersection of AI, energy, and industrial competitiveness. This conversation will explore key enablers of AI deployment, the policy levers needed to accelerate progress, and the geopolitical and economic implications of these shifts. 

Speakers will break down and discuss key enablers, examine the report’s recommendations, and outline pathways to ensure the U.S. can scale and sustain its AI infrastructure. 

This event is made possible by support from OpenAI and general support to the CSIS Economic Security and Technology Department.
