Memos to the President is a podcast series from the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), dedicated to providing bold, actionable ideas to the current U.S. administration. Hosted by SCSP’s CEO Ylli Bajraktari, it features conversations with experts and leaders on critical issues related to national security, technology, and economic competitiveness.
In this special episode of Memos to the President, recorded live at the SCSP AI + Education Summit, SCSP CEO Ylli Bajraktari sits down with U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) and NVIDIA Co-Founder Chris Malachowsky to discuss the profound intersection of artificial intelligence, workforce development, and global competitiveness.
The conversation centers on the urgent need for the United States to lead the AI revolution. With the ink “barely dry” on this technology, Senator Rounds and Malachowsky outline how the U.S. can unlock $4.7 trillion in economic growth by embracing AI as “amplified intelligence.” From the University of Florida’s massive AI supercomputer initiative to Dakota State University’s cybersecurity pipeline, the discussion highlights how local institutions are laying the groundwork for America’s future. The briefing then pivots to the stark realities of national security, exploring the integration of AI in modern warfare, the geopolitical race against China, and the critical infrastructure bottlenecks, like energy grids and immigration reform—that the U.S. must solve to maintain its edge.
