China is the majority of electricity growth on Earth. 3/4 of new supply is solar. That's the case globally, in China, in the U.S. — basically everywhere.

What’s the difference between a tech firm and an arms dealer? Government contracts in tech aren’t new — Silicon Valley was quasi founded on them. Salesforce helping ICE with ERP for hiring? - Pretty tame. And frankly, we want our government to stay on the cutting edge than fall

Loved it! What a fun crowd. Young and old, executives, students, even parents with their kids. What is the future of productivity and prosperity?  It’s not man versus machine, but a higher plane where humans and #AI play to their strengths in a powerful symbiosis. I don’t buy

Watch my address to President Tokayev and our AI Council yesterday. For any smaller economy, the future of AI should be designed through a strategic balance of partnerships and sovereignty. It should not be externally defined. @AiCambrian @BerkeleyHaas

Censorship — whether coming from the left or right — threatens democracies and capital markets. America’s strength and resilience come from open, lawful debate and transparency, not control like China or Russia. Truth emerges through hard dialogue, sometimes offensive to

Big mistake. #PresidentTrump has made @intel's life harder and US economic and security options weaker by claiming a share in the company. This well-argued piece by Michael Schmidt and Todd Fisher deserves a few more points. This risks ... 👉 Crowding out private capital –
