About This Event

In the first edition of our Nonresident Fellows Webinar Series, Suzanne Nossel will convene a private webinar with business leaders in partnership with the Leadership Now Project (LNP) to explore how the United States can enhance its long-term global competitiveness in the age of AI.  Key questions will include whether US firms possess the necessary technology, talent, and institutional frameworks needed to compete with global counterparts in the integration of AI and automation; what education and training reforms are needed to equip the workforce for these transformations; how the current administration's approach to industrial policy is shaping competition; and how business, government, and civil society can work together to ensure that technological innovation translates into broad-based economic resilience.

This will be a 90-minute private webinar with twenty business leaders drawn from the Council's constituency, LNP's membership, and several expert representatives from both organizations to inform LNP’s forthcoming report, A Business Plan for America.

To learn more about the Nonresident Fellows Webinar Series and how you can engage, please reach out to Claire Shirey.
