SUMMARY:Agents and Agency: Artificial Intelligence and the Electricity War 
 for Human Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Sarah Hunt\, Founder and President of the Joseph Rai
 ney Center for Public Policy\n\n\n\nIn this urgent examination of 21st-cen
 tury geopolitics\, Sarah E. Hunt explores the critical distinction between
  artificial intelligence agents—systems vulnerable to optimization witho
 ut moral understanding—and human agency\, our capacity for self-determin
 ation and moral reasoning. The Chinese Communist Party's massive energy in
 frastructure advantage\, adding ten times more electrical capacity than Am
 erica in 2024\, threatens to determine global AI leadership and whether au
 thoritarian or democratic values shape human-AI interaction. Hunt will arg
 ue that America must build energy abundance through a conservative approac
 h to light-touch industrial policy mobilization akin to WWII or the Cold W
 ar to preserve Western civilization's commitment to individual freedom\, c
 onstitutional governance\, and human flourishing in the age of artificial 
 intelligence.
