Threat to American national security isn’t a missile gap - it’s a talent gap

What if the greatest threat to American national security isn’t a missile gap - it’s a talent gap? Join Gregory Adam Haile, J.D., Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, for a discussion of his manuscript, The New Arsenal: Talent, Opportunity, and Technology as Pillars of Global AI Competitiveness and U.S. National Security.

Drawing on history from the GI Bill to Sputnik, and on his own experience leading workforce innovation at scale, Haile argues that in an era defined by artificial intelligence, the nations that invest in human capital - especially those left behind by the knowledge economy - will be the ones that prevail.

This isn’t abstract theory: it’s a blueprint for a new national security paradigm, one where classrooms, labor markets, and AI literacy matter as much as any weapon in our arsenal. Come ready to challenge, debate, and rethink what it means to keep a democracy strong.
