On Tuesday, September 23 at 9:30 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council will host a fireside chat with Jacob Helberg, adviser for the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
Artificial intelligence is driving a technological revolution that could upend the global balance of power in ways not experienced in more than a century. Such a revolution raises questions about whether the United States or China is better positioned to win the race for twenty-first- century technologies—and how AI will impact the US economy at home and economic influence abroad. In order to compete, the Trump administration unveiled the AI Action Plan to prioritize infrastructure, innovation, and workforce development. Despite this push forward, questions on implementation and the role of allies and partners linger.
At this event, Helberg will discuss how the United States can harness the potential of AI to ensure it retains its technological and geopolitical leadership.
This event is part of our #ACinNY series, happening on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. See the rest of the line-up and register for more events here.
