America’s Fragile Infrastructure in the Age of AI

America is racing to lead in AI, but those ambitions rest on a fragile foundation. Our economy, defense, and daily lives depend on vulnerable physical infrastructure, and without resilient networks at the edge, AI cannot scale where it is most needed. Jase Wilson, co-founder of Ready.net, will highlight gaps in the infrastructure powering America’s digital economy and explain why the White House’s AI strategy will falter without a parallel focus on resilient critical infrastructure.
